Summary: Why you should read Daniel's Story
Review: Daniel's story was one of the saddest books that I ever read,but it was also one of the most interesting.It is about the Holocaust.The Holocaust was a period of time during World War 2 when Hitler killed most of the jews so people would be alike.It was interesting because I learned some history. If you like survival stories,then this is the book for you.Daniel's family,realitives,and friends try to survive but this was a hard time to do so.Daniel and what's left of his family and realitives go from their home in Germany to Poland and then back to Germany.In Poland his mother dies and in Germany his sister dies.I suggest that if you have any trouble with the words,check the glossary. Have fun reading ths book! by Nate Parr, 4th Grade (Ms Lamberis' class), Dewey School (Evanston, IL), age 10

Summary: Daniel's Story
Review: This I felt was a very compelling book. It wasn't to graffic, but it was just as descriptive. Daniel is a four-teen year old boy who soon finds out that life, in his beloved city isn't as carefree , as it used be. After he is transported many times to hard consintration camps, he soon forgets what a normal life used to be like. This book tells about all of the things that Jews had to go through during Hitler's reign in power.

Review: I really don't know where to start! This book is my favorite book, and I will keep on reading it thousands of times. This book made me cry. I have never ever in my entire life cried while reading a book. But when I read this one, tears started falling. Carol Matas is the best author and I don't know how she writes the way she does. When I read the book I really felt like I was a part of it, and that the book was based on a real life story. I encourage you and everyone else to read this outstanding book. Any age group of people will enjoy it, but a word to the wise-Don't put the book down because the beginning is boring...It gets so exciting in the middle and in the end. i'm thirteen years old.

It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will really make you think. Please read this book.

Summary: It makes you think!
Review: This book is great. I could only imagine how someone could live throught the Holocaust until I read Daniel's Story. Carol Matas gives you an amazing insight on what it must have been like. She makes you laugh, and cry retelling the story of a fictional character named Daniel. I highly suggest this book to anyone that loves a good read. This book teaches a lot as well. You will come out more understanding, and wiser.

Review: Daniel's Story is about a Jewish familiy living in Frankfurt during the Holocaust. This book was thrilling! I have never been so interested in a book before.

Summary: One of Carol Matas best.
Review: I give this book a 5 because I think this book is an excellent portrayal of a young Jewish boy who is suffering from war. Carol Matas did an excellent job of this book, I felt like I was really in the book. It seemed so real that I cried in the sad parts and in the happy parts. Is showed me the dangers of war, and why its do important to get the message out to today's youth that fighting is not the answer because sometimes the consequences can be almost unreal.

Summary: Carol Matas made me live Daniel's Story in my mind.
Review: This novel was very upsetting to me because it tells a very real story about what the world was like during the Second World War in Europe, and the pain Jewish people went through because Adolf Hitler didn't like them. He used them as slaves to work in his factories for free. He kept them imprisoned in concentration camps, even though they didn't do anything wrong. First they had to get all their body hair chopped off with a knife, and the Nazis didn't care if they cut them. Then they all got shoved into a room and had buckets of strong disinfectant thrown on them. It really stung. The Nazis didn't care what happened to any of them. They just tortured the prisoners when they weren't working, and some just got shot anyways. Daniel was fourteen when the Nazis captured him. His father was in the same camp. His sister Erika was taken away, and neither Daniel or his Dad knew if she was dead or alive. They both vowed to survive so they could find out. That's what kept them going even when they were hurt or starved. By the time the war ended, Daniel had seen lots of people die and had horrible, horrible stories to tell. That's what makes his story so interesting. I hope that something like this will never happen again! I read this book in Grade 6, and I still think about it often. My sister is reading it for a book report this year. I recommend that when you read this book you carry a box of tissues with you.
