Rating:  Summary: A fabously-written tale of a truly heroic girl of WWII Review: All preteens and teenagers should read this story of heroism during a time far before their birth - not just for the story itself, but for the true lesson of tolerance and understanding of those who are different than ourselves. Everyone who takes the opportunity to read this book should also attempt to invite the author, a marvelous woman now resident in Montana, to visit their community for one of her outstanding presentations to the local youngsters. They'll be touched by a most-humbly recounted true story of a young girl's heroism in an environment which most of us can only imagine in our worst nightmares. But they'll also be engaged in dialogue which will open their eyes and broaden their horizons to the way that people view and treat each other. It's an extraordinary experience.
Rating:  Summary: One 7th Graders opinion Review: The book Sky is a true story about a wonan's experiences during WWII. It takes place in Holland and told about the author being caught and put in prison. It also told about her younger days in Girl Scouts and working underground with the resistance. The photos added to the story.

Rating:  Summary: Great story! Review: This book was a very interesting story, although it was short and not very in-depth. The photos were a good addition, and it was different from the Jews' perspectives. Instead of being sent to concentration camps during the war, she secretly fought for the Jews, leading them to the countryside to escape Nazi persecution. This different angle (coming from a resistance worker) made this story a good change from other WWII books.
