The German Girl

by Lily Graham

[Page-Turners]

This World War II story is both heartbreaking and eye opening. This author has a gift of pulling you into the story and making you feel like you are living the life instead of reading a book.

This book was simply amazing. Lily Graham is an author that not only draws you in but also teaches you about history along the way. This is a story of young fifteen year old Jewish twins, whose parents were killed. Asta and Jurgen, who are brother and sister, who had to flee their hometown of Hamburg, Germany to seek refuge from the Nazis with their aunt in Denmark. When they get separated on their journey Asta is forced to go it alone. The friends and strangers they met along the way that help them was so heartwarming. The hardships that they endured were so terrifying yet every flip of the page gave hope. This time-slip tale paints such a vivid picture of survival and experiences are beyond comprehension. You’ll need to read this one with a box of tissues near by.

The fear, the loss, the courage and the endurance that these kids had to face was absolutely heartbreaking. This unputdownable, real life story is an absolute must-read. This author writes well beyond her years. I highly recommend Lily Graham and will definitely read anything this author writes. Bravo Lily, well done.
