Jane Yolen
This critically acclaimed novel by award-winning author Jane Yolen is now available in a beautifully designed new edition. Hannah dreads going to her family's Passover Seder— she's tired of hearing her relatives talk about the past. But when she opens the front door to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah, she's transported to a Polish village in the year 1942, where she becomes caught up in the tragedy of the time. "[Readers] will come away with a sense of tragic history that both disturbs and compels".— "Booklist"

"This book was a little hard to get into at first, and my first impression was I didn't love the writing style, but the end made up for everything! It has a very moving and cleverly illustrated plot that leaves a very good impression by the end."

"This is the first book about the Holocaust that I ever read and the story was told amazingly. I think everyone should read this."
