One Eye Laughing, the Other Weeping: The Diary of Julie Weiss

254 pp. | Scholastic | October, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-439-09518-2 $$12.95
(4) 4-6 Dear America series. Twelve-year-old Julie Weiss's diary for 1938 begins in Vienna, where even her privileged family is ravaged by Nazi terrorism, and ends in New York City, where her actress aunt and wealthy uncle welcome her into their comfortable home. Accurate historical details and Julie's consistent voice strengthen the book, but the plot's easy resolutions seem contrived.
