My Family For The War

Sorry long time no blog:( I have been so busy lately finishing the most amazing books ever  called My Family For The War. It was three books in one and the author was Anne C. Voorhoeve...... However you pronounce that! The books took place in...1938-1939....1939-1940...and 1941-1945! And if you don't know what happened in those dates....GO TO HISTORY CLASS! Because the Nazi war began and ended in those dates! My book was about a girl about 11 named Franziska/Ziska Mangold who lives in Germany. Ziska is not Jewish but she had Jewish ancestors and that is enough to make Hitler hate her and her family! Ziska is growing up in a home where Nazis knocking on the door and taking what they want was normal! Ziska and her friend bekka have grown up practing jumping from a window to a tree! Eventually the Nazis take and beat her father which changed her life forever!!!! Ziska ends up having to be sent on a kinder transport/train for young children! Off on her way is Ziska Mangold to London! She meets a foster family who is wealthy and very, very nice! At first Ziska is trying to earn money for her parents but fails and just writes letters! Soon the war in book two moves to London and Ziska must move again! She is very upset she also learns of her fathers death! Will she ever be united with her family again? Will this terrible war ever end? 
Read to find out!
remember it only takes a smile
Pretty in pink!
