5.0 out of 5 stars Sky: A Great Book, November 15, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sky (Paperback)

This book is really good for all ages. I read it for a book report and the shortness of the chapters and the promptness of which Hanneke presents the information makes it an enjoyable book to read. The prison parts really show you how Germans treated their prisoners. Very truthful, good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Story of a Girl Living the Holocaust, December 8, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sky (Paperback)

Sky is a true story about a girl named Hanneke Ippisch during the Holocaust. It gives you some details about the Holocaust that are sometimes left out in books; like how some people tried to help the Jews. There were many resistance groups that hid, fed, and rescued the Jews from the Nazi soldiers. Hanneke Ippisch writes a wonderful autobiography that has somewhat personal stories in it. She tells about her family, some of the people she helped, and what happened to her while she was in jail. She also includes some details about her child life and how she felt about the war. I would definitely recommend this book to children curious about the Holocaust and war in Europe. It has a couple stories in it, but it's mostly facts about her life. If you like to read on more of a story line though, this book isn't for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book Review, March 2, 2001

This review is from: Sky (Paperback)

The book Sky by Hanneke Ippisch is a very good book. It is a non-fiction book. The book Sky is a review of Hanneke's life during the war. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read and learn things about the Holocaust. Also, people who like to read picture books should read it too, because there are many pictures in the book of actual things that Hanneke found and places she stayed.
