(1) 4-6 Translated by Elizabeth D. Crawford. WWII has been over for seven years, but for twelve-year-old Halinka, resident of a children's home in Germany for neglected or abused girls, it's still all about survival. Unflinchingly direct and immensely involving, the first-person account is sprinkled with clues to Halinka's substantial humanity, and by the end of the book, we know that Halinka's emotional scars will fade as surely as will her physical ones.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano | Horn Book Magazine Issue: January, 1999
