Historical Middle grade fiction for CYBILS
I'm deep into the CYBILS list. I don't think I've ever gone this long without reading a grown up book but THERE ARE SO MANY!!! I'm also a little afraid that I'm hitting a wall with these books. I might have to go and read 50 shades of Gray just to shake things up a bit. Ok, I'm not that low yet. I read this one this morning. COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. I read this first chapter last night and when I woke up, I thought I should read a bit more. Until I finished it. It's called "The Safest Lie" by Angela Cerrito. I should also mention that I've hit a saturation point with books about World War 2 and so I don't choose to read them any more, but this one had such a compelling voice, that I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. Noticing a theme? It's about Anna, who is 9, and lives with her parents in Warsaw in the Jewish ghetto. Things are bad. All of their conversations are in code because people live in very tight quart...
