The book starts with Lesial's parents dieing, so she and her baby brother are sent to a foster home, but on the way there her baby brother dies, and without the baby brother the foster home doesn't want her. Then she gets moved to a different home, her new family wants her to go to school. She is very bad at reading and writing so, she stays up very late every night to learn and her papa comes up and tells her a story about how he lived in a war because he tripped and didn't go to the battle field that day. But his friend dies that day so he tells his Friend's family that he died. He also told them if they need help ask. So then they send there Jewish son over to hide with them and Lesial and the Jewish boy become friends. They have a good time but there to loud and so the family next to them see the Jewish boy, and call the police. The police come and take him away. He's then sent to a concentration camp, Because of the camps America comes and bombs them and since Lesials lives close to one of the camps everyone that she knows dies.
I think the book is great. The author did a really good job on showing what it was like to be a German girl in world war 2. I also love how the book is narrative by death it just gives the book a huge leap on what a other book would be if it was narrative by one person. I think the only part that could be better is the ending it's really sad and the worst, it's everyone dieing when it could have been like 50 other better things. I liked the style of writing being in 3 person omitoin and it's most likely one of my favorite books of all time!!!
