I think it will appeal to a small number of kids who like war stories and historical fiction, but it is so slow moving, I don't think the adventure readers will stick with it. It is beautifully written and a truely interesting story for the Dutch kids of Holland, MI.Mary Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738815849236707040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-6350135335246885582008-05-11T09:18:00.000-07:002008-05-11T09:18:00.000-07:00I was not crazy about this book for Thumbs Up.

I feel like if there was more story from the teen's perspective that would make it a better "teen book" & the teen perspective didn't start until a good way through the 1940s war story. And she didn't get the box from her grandfather until after 1/2 way through the story. If she got the box in the beginning and somehow learned about each item in it throughout the story through flashbacks to the war era - it would have been so much better.Janice Heilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749414302657952418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-48911165324910474602008-04-13T09:38:00.000-07:002008-04-13T09:38:00.000-07:00Man, I really want to edit my description of this ...Man, I really want to edit my description of this book..

Other adults seem to like it, too, but I really think it should have been marketed to adults. So though I would love to put this on top, I sadly have to say that it doesn't make it for the thumb's up for me.Deb Motleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106074482159461012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-42474416523025343222008-03-18T12:28:00.000-07:002008-03-18T12:28:00.000-07:00Of the Top 20 titles that I've read since our meet...Of the Top 20 titles that I've read since our meeting, this is by far my favorite.
