⭐Check out this feedback from happy teachers⭐

• This is a challenging novel to tackle with students. Your activities and questions are thoughtful, and meaningful, and helped us grasp the importance of the topic. Thank you.
• I loved this resource. It had great visuals and graphic organizers. I used it with students with learning disabilities and high-functioning autism. They did really well with it. Very practical and helpful for a comprehension guide/check.
• Marion Blumenthal Lazan spoke at our school. The school purchased several sets of her novel, and my students were lucky enough to read it. This was a great resource to help them in understanding her story.
• I had the honor of hearing Marion speak to our school a few years back. Since then, I have made this novel one of the lit circle choices during our WWII/Anne Frank unit.
• Love...Love..Love! Resources are awesome, guides well organized, additional resources make this interesting for students.
