Lovely, poetic. Also strange -- I can see how this would have a tough time finding an audience. Don't be fooled by the slim page count and animal illustrations; this is not a book for little kids. Eminently teachable: we might try teaching this in 8th grade alongside excerpts of Anne Frank and social studies' Holocaust unit. (

I am undecided about this book. I sympathised with the animals and the Rom children, and wanted to find out what happened to them, but I was left unsatisfied with the end. The setting hinted at but never named is the 2nd World War in Europe, and there was little uplifting in that situation. There is also very little uplifting in this book. Actually it's quite depressing. I think the author assumes the reader knows about this history, that the war was a hatred and genocide, not just a territorial war. It is also assumed that the child reading the book can work out the implied ending. It's certainly not a book I could give to every child to read. (

A beautifully written, moving and thoughtful fable about war, hope and freedom. Hartnett is one of the most gifted writers of children's and young adult fiction and this wonderful novel is another example of her remarkable talent. (

Hartnett's writing is still pretty good, but I really haven't enjoyed most of her work for younger readers--it's so much more straightforward and to-the-point. This just lacked something her other books have, the feeling of her other books--that surreal wandering that makes her stories so compelling.

Not bad, maybe okay for younger readers (upper elementary/middle school, maybe?) but not one I'd short-list when introducing someone to her writing. (

I really enjoyed this. I thought it might be too short, but it turned out to be okay. It follows three gypsy kids on the run during WW2. It's very interesting to see the two boys take on the role of their parents and provide for their younger sister- despite how annoying they find her. Andrej and Tomas end up in a zoo in a ruined village, and try to piece together what's happening to the world. It was different than anything I've read before, and a very unique tale. I enjoyed it a lot, but I found the ending a bit flimsy. (

If the old bell had been hanging in the steeple it would have rung to announce midnight, twelve solemn iron klongs which would have woken the villagers from their sleep and startled any small creature new to the village and unaccustomed to the noise.

Having courage, Tomas had learned, didn't mean things would turn out well, and that you would be all right. Sometimes, Tomas knew, being courageous was the least safe thing in the world.
