I started out thinking the book was ok, but the more I read, the better I liked it.  It tells of a family ( and a few friends) who livein constant danger in war- torn Germany.  There is an ever-prevent danger of being arrested for the slightest suspicionof disloyalty to Hitler and any of his doctrines.  No one can be trusted to keep a secret.  Into this comes a young girl witha love for books, a refugee who is Jewish and in hiding, and the girl's introduction into the dangers and heartaches ofgrowing up in a neighborhood that is rife with fear, death and suffering.  This story is suspenseful, touching, and informative.
