Welcome to Litsy!

This graphic novel tackles very heavy subject matter with more lightness than it warrants. I‘d recommend it to fans of Alan Gratz‘s Refugee looking for a fast paced survival story set against a historical background.

I‘ve been listening to audiobooks so I can be productive elsewhere, and I listen in the car and walking as well. Slowly making my way through the I Survived series! I love when the author talks at the end about her sources and how she connected with each historical event.
@TheAromaofBooks I had to make some adjustments to my #bookspinbingo grid-had started then rejected several books 😳🧐🤓

A difficult topic for most adults to read about, Tarshis addresses the Nazi invasion in Poland tactfully with the story of Max and Zena. Max sneaks out of the ghetto fence to get raspberries and are then chased into the forest, finding Jewish partisan fighters who were blowing up Nazi supply trains. A light read for a heavy subject. This quote is everything, though.

My coworkers son has the collection of "I Survived" so I of course needed to borrow them ??

This HF is part of the ‘I Survived‘ New York Times best selling series. This story is about Max and his sister Zena who try desparately to escape the Nazi‘s and get away like their father was unable to. Best as an IR, this story is a good kid-friendly way to introduce students to events that happened in history. #ucflae3414f17

I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944 by Lauren Tarshis is a Historical Fiction book about Max and his Sister Zena who try to survive and not being taken by the Nazis like their father did. This book is great to learn about the holocaust and introduce Hitler's Nazi troops. This Novel can be introduced to Students from middle school as a read aloud due to the audio tape. Students can follow along while the tape is playing during class. #UCFWalterslit
