The Right Way To Tell It

Jayne Pettit used her imagination when writing this book. She used five different types of lives during the Holocaust. She never used too much information about one person. Ms. Pettit would explain with just the right amount of detail. She tells about a boy who saved an American pilot, a Japanese-American in Manzanar, about a child in a concentration camp, and more. If you're a child, the book is simple enough for you to understand, yet complex enough to give you most of the facts.
