A Family Secret
A Family Secret provides a graphic novel overview of WWII from a "safe" Dutch girl's perspective as she relates the tale of her Jewish friend who suffered through the terror of the Holocaust. Characters in the book represent a wide diversity in respect to decency – from the innocent to the heroic resistance fighters, from the passive bystanders to the brutal Nazis. Firmly rooted in history and delivering accurate facts along a precise timeline, A Family Secret does a remarkable job of communicating some of the most perplexing and disturbing events in Dutch history. The story and characters from A Family Secret are intertwined and expanded upon in The Search.
”The graphic novel genre may not be my favorite, but it’s such a giant lure to my children – and has been for so long – that I have no desire to banish it or condemn it. I’d rather find a way to get great versions in their hands.”
Read the Review”Giving thoughts and feelings to the characters who "experience" the war brings the stories to life, and I believe help younger children better understand how wars affect people, bringing much empathy and understanding to a generation who has not experienced such hardship as of yet. ”
