review 1: Finding Zasha was about how a teenage boy, Ivan, had to leave his family and go to his uncles house due to the Germans bombing their home. On his journey he grew stronger both physically and mentally. He had to cross a frozen over lake and risk never seeing his family ever again. Instead of going straight to his uncles house, he went to his aunts friends house for a while. Him, his aunt, and her friend were hiding in their house and then Ivan asked if he could play his concertina. About an hour after he played, a German officer came into the house. Ivan was not under controlled by Axel, the head chief of the German soldiers and had to play for him at his army camp for entertainment. Ivan's dream was to escape and he has already been caught once, will Ivan escape from the h... moreead chief, Axel Recht? Or will he get whipped? This book is the best historical fiction book I have ever read. It has great suspension and I can't get enough of this book. I couldn't put this book down, the author is a great writer, he does a great job of making reader keep reading. He also does a great job with incorporating non icy ion things into a great book. I would recommend this book to everybody. Anybody could keep reading this series, in the beginning it is a little dull but throughout the book it gets better and better. The book ended on a cliffhanger so if you hate those, still read it. Everybody should read this and learn some determination and perseverance. If you love dogs, this is an even better book.
review 2: Historical fiction I love and so does my boy! This book has everything a wide-eyed eight year old could ever want: mystery, weapons, dogs, danger, plus for a compassionate child like mine, intrigue and heroism. This is a great story and offers compelling writing. We read it twice which means it was extra special. This book goes in the category with other special-specials that have been read multiple times; including "Anna Karenina" (4 times), "Of Human Bondage" (3 Times), and "The Secret Garden" (twice) just to name a few. It is a good read, no matter how old you happen to be. less
