The German Girl: A Novel | Armando Lucas Correa

Pickpick

Pretty good historical about holocaust survivors in Cuba who were let in when other family and friends were turned away on the ship St. Louis. Took awhile to get into it and then skimmed it at the end a little. If you like Sarah‘s Key it is sort of like that.

TheAromaofBooks I've had mixed results with Hemmingway's books, but haven't read this one. Hope you love it!! 1w
GinaKButler @TheAromaofBooks The racial slurs are a lot…you have to remind yourself when it was published, that‘s for sure! Not my favorite by him. 5d

This book is great for ages 5–9 (Kindergarten through 4th grade) The story celebrates following your dreams and challenging unfair rules, teaching children about persistence and self-confidence.
