Recenzii
“It sounds like fiction. Two kids, ten and twelve, crisscrossing France with knapsacks on their backs. . . . It’s a helluva story . . . and Joffo’s a born storyteller.”
“Because [Joffo] made it through World War II without suffering the worst, the memoir can introduce young readers to some of the realities of the period without simply frightening and sickening them. . . . The book resembles The Diary of Anne Frank, but it is much more exciting.”
