Lois Lowry recommends
thumb
When We Flew Away (2024)
Alice Hoffman
"Adding new poignance to a story whose ending we already knew, Alice Hoffman has deftly recreated the child Anne Frank with all her wit, mischief, and uncertainties. This fictionalized account of the increasingly desperate years that preceded the famous diary breaks readers' hearts one more time. But it reminds us of how important it is to remember and honor all that was lost."
thumb
Just a Girl (2022)
Lia Levi
"Lia Levi's voice-spunky, outspoken, and innocent-reminds us of what was lost and what was learned."
thumb
T4 (2008)
Ann Clare Lezotte
"Told with spare lyricism and haunting imagery."
