                               Escape From Warsaw,by Ian Serrillier

Rating:3 and a half Stars

  The book begins with the story of a man named Joseph Baliki and how he escaped from a death camp in World War II. His wife was sent to a labouring camp. They left behind 3 children and a friend. Ruth,the oldest of the four must take on responsibility as mother. Edek,a boy scout with a strong will. Bronia,a sweet and caring toddler. Jan, who Joseph met,and loves thievery and animals.When Jan brings a message that their father was heading the Switzerland,the children go on a journey. Leaving their home town in Warsaw,they endure seperation,soldiers,and sickness.
  Escape From Warsaw goes by slowly,using lots of detail,sometimes too much. But you do get attached to the characters,and want to encourage them. This is also just a book out of thousands,the one that your teacher chooses to read. There was nothing much to make it stand out from other book on World War II,but I do believe that it is a small book worth reading. Also,this book is also called The Silver Sword,so you have two titles to look out for! On my next post,I will be reviewing another teacher's choice,so look out!
