This book is riveting and very well researched. As a non-Jewish person, I had no idea about the pogroms before I read this book. Of course, we all know about Jewish persecution in 20th Century Europe, but it was intense to learn about the persecution of Jews many decades beforehand through this addicting tale. Would recommend this book to high-school teachers looking to do a history unit on the Holocaust to give a deeper perspective of Jewish persecution in European history.

This series is fantastic for any high-school teacher wanting to do a unit about Jewish persecution and immigration. (As a former teacher myself I often think of books in terms of how they can be used in lesson planning, ha! And this story is captivating enough to ensnare teens, but of course it’s an adult book and not young adult fiction. This is just where my mind goes when I enjoy a book.) It’s very well-researched, and the beloved characters from the first book continue their journey into a new country. It’s hard to write a review without SPOILERS, because a big part of why this book is so good is because of some of the characters get a little justice in this one. And that’s all I’ll say about that! Very good!
