Summary: Shadow of the Wall is a terrific book!
Review: I AM A 6TH GRADE STUDENT AND I JUST FINISHED READING SHADOW OF THE WALL. IT IS A FANTASTIC BOOK. IT IS CONFUSING AT THE BEGINNING BUT WHEN YOU GET TOWARD THE MIDDLE IT GETS REALLY GOOD. I WOULD RECOMEND IT TO ANYONE. IT IS ABOUT A 13-YEAR-OLD JEWISH BOY THAT LIVED IN A GHETTO DURING THE HOLOCAUST. HE GOES ON A VERY IMPORTANT MISSION (SMUGGLE HIS BABY SISTER OUT OG THE GHETTO TO LIVE WITH A NON-JEWISH FAMILY). IT ALSO TELLS ABOUT HIS OTHER ADVENTURES.

Review: Shadow of the Wall

This is a story about a boy that survived what seemed to be the impossible, when he was very young his father died of a disease. His mother sent him to an orphanage; she eventually started to live there. After Misha was older he started to smuggle food in from the "outside" for his family because his mother was very sick and couldn't work. Eventually Mishas mother died, leaving him and his two sisters. The Nazis started to give terrible punishments to people who broke the law, if Misha was caught smuggling food he would be killed. The Nazis are preparing to raid the orphanage and many of the children and adults are very weak. What will happen to Misha, his sisters and the rest of the orphanage?

I didn't like this story because it is to sad the way both of his parents die when he's young and leave him to fend for both him and his two sisters. It is also a little bit gross, when Misha was smuggling once he stumbled over two dead bodies and one of them wasn't even covered up! This story relates to The Diary of Anne Frank.
