Title: When The Soldiers Were Gone
Product review: I enjoyed reading, When the Soldiers Were Gone, by Vera Propp. The book focuses on the time period of 1945 when World War II was ending. The author writes about a boy who gets sent to a farm during the war to protect himself and his family. The boy, Henk, is really Jewish but he disguises himself as a Christian so the Nazi's won't come after him. This book is very interesting because it describes what was happening during the war from the eyes of a child that is about my age, 10 years old. Henk has wierd dreams about his past, and in the middle of the book he realizes that the dreams are real and that he has actually has a different family. The ending was a real surprise for me. This historical fiction is well worth reading.
