Summary: Recommended to teens
Review: "Daniel's Story" is a great book with a lot of detail. I recommend it to teenagers who want to know more about the holocaust. Since Daniel is a teenager, then teens now can see what kind of priveleges they have compared to the Jews in the 1930s.

Summary: This book is great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I am in the 6th grade and I read a book about the Holocaust. the book is about a little boy named Daniel. He lived happily until Hittler wanted to make the perfect union in 1933. He wanted only blond haired and blue eyed people he did not want any body else especially Jews daniel is a Jew so he had to go to a ghetto then on a train to a consintration camp. I think this book is ok because it did not have any colored pitures and it did not realy cath my eye. But there is a good side to this book and that is they have maps and the words are easy to read.

Review: Daniel's Story was a great portrail of the holocaust and a great way to learn all about the horrible time of WW2. I enjoyed reading it the first time and even more the second time! It shows how you can stick anything out if you are strong with hope. I suggest if you havn't already read this amazing story, you run out to your library and get it.

Summary: Helps you realize how hard it was for Jews during the war.
Review: This book explains how it was how it felt to be tourtured in that way. How it felt to lose people you love. And to realize why terrible things like that should not happen
Rating:
Summary: Interesting and well written book.
Review: Daniel's story is an intreging but deppressing book about the
horrors of the holocaust. You learn while you are reading.
This is a story about Daniel, a Jewish boy from Frankfort who,
as many other Jews in 1933-1945 was dreadfully mistreated. As you turn the pages, you will keep asking yourself, "How
could manking do such a thing...To fellow men?"

Summary: Googoo gaga
Review: Daniel is young and smart kid. Daniel and his family is Jewish and people don't like them. When Daiel goes to school the teacher is mean to him. Daniel wants to tell his parents, but he noes that there is nothing they can do about it. Daniel has a favorite uncle named Uncle Peter that got sent to the concentration camp. Daniel has a sister named Erica who is very good at the violin. The whole family went to the concentration camp in Poland. I think that this book is very good because it shoes how Daniel faces life. The challenges he might have to face might be gig but he is still is strong in physical and mental ways each day. I think Uncle Peter tries to make them forget what the nazis do and try new things each day so they are not in fear every day. I thik if you like books about how people face challenges each day in wars or in the cocentration camps this book is right for you.b It tells lots of true facts about Daniel and the family and how life is effected each day for them.

Summary: A great lesson...
Review: Even though Daniel is a fictitious character, his life reflects stories of many real Holocost survivors. Because of that fact, you learn what it was like in the Nazi concentration camps.
Daniel and his family are taken from one place to another and battle many difficulties. You learn what it was like living in the ghetto, the restrictions that the Jews had, and the murderous, brutal acts of the Nazi SS Soldiers.
It is a quick read. It took me only a few hours. It is an interesting and informative book.

Summary: It started it all for me...
Review: Daniel's Story was a pivotal book in my life. When I was a sixth grade student, I chose it out of a stack of historical fiction books for an English class. Eight years later, the holocaust has remained a topic I am still interested in. It is a wonderful "stepping stone" for all children who are interested in history... it is not overly gorey, but it gives young people a sense of the horror of that time period.
I still go back to this book, once or twice a year and read it again. It is wonderful.

Review: Daniel's Story, a book about a young boy going through the holocaust is one of the best books I have read in my life. I picked up this book because of my love for historical fiction. Daniel's story brought me smiles, tears, and sympathy.
Carol Matas is a great author and great descriptiveness towards her writing. She writes as the character. As if Daniel were my age, talking like my age. This creates more of a connection with the main character for the reader.
This book describes the average life as a jewish child during the holocaust. What they had to go through, and the triumphs they had to overcome. I would highly suggest this book to anyone and everyone. Even if you are not interested in historical fiction.
Great for school teachers as well for their students to read because of its historical information. Basically Daniel is taken from his home to live in a ghetto. Here, his family either dies or gets trasnsported somewhere else. Him and his father manage to stay together, and stay alive. Their is also a little love route in this book for all of you girls. haha
Again, great book, good to read. Highly suggest if you want to learn about the Holocaust and the way it really was. Daniel is a great, strong character. And the way the author portrays him through out the book relates to many of the young readers out their.
Here is my personal rating:
Description: 4/5
Want a book that can give you vivid pictures in your mind? You will find it here. Great descriptions of not only settings, but character detail. Although the author can be abrupt at some times.
Plot: 5/5
Great plot, although it is very similar to Elie Weisel's "Night". But great story of a young boy and father trying to survive during the lead of the Third Reich.
Characters: 4/5
You will find many character through out this book. Many though are young boys, just about Daniel's age. They all though have very unique characterisitcs. Although sometimes the author could use more description in them to make them "Round Characters". So, my raiting would be a 13/15. Again, great book!

Summary: Beware of content for younger children!
Review: Although the reading difficulty level IS appropriate for 9 yr olds, the content is too shocking and graphic for most children under 12 or 13. The story of what a child in the holocaust faced is well written and full of important information and history, but not appropriate for preadolescents. For example in one scene a NAZI soldier picks up at 10 yr old girl and breaks her back over his knee, then kills her hysterical mother. In another scene NAZIs throw babies to their deaths out of a 2nd story window into the bed of waiting trucks below. These are important things for people to know, but a 9-11 yr old does not need THAT much information yet. It IS an excellent book for adolescents and adults though.
