review 1: This was an excellent book. Set in France near the beginning of WWII, it follows the lives of Julien, a French teenage boy, and Nina, a German Jewish teenage girl. It is based on a true story of a French village that was honored by Israel for rescuing many Jewish people during the war. I love how the authors wove the truth of Christ into the story as it found the way into the hearts of the characters. This is a wonderful book for teens (as well as adults) to read, to understand a bit more of the reality, emotions, fears, and triumphs of the people who lived through this time of history.
review 2: A very well done book of fiction based on the heroic activites of the people of Chambon-sur-lignon, France during WWII. The inner lives of the characters is so well do... morene that the complexities and conflicting feelings that were surely a part of the Chambon experience, become unsettlingly real. I appreciate the authors' respect for the difficulties the French faced and their avoidance of a simple and unrealistic either-or approach to their story. less
