I had seen this post months ago after you had written it and remembered it today. I'm so glad I did.

Im ordering it right away for my son, who loves to read in English.

But I found a great project by one respectable news agency, it is called Children of War and is available for reading online. It is a compilation of children's diaries. Here is the link, please scroll that page until you see READ IN ENGLISH link.

Last year I read my students <i>Black Radishes</i> by Susan Lyn Meyer. It's suspenseful and the kids liked it a lot. (Note: I do edit books as I go. Though I can't recall this book needing much, you might want to do a pre-read before handing it to your child.)<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Black-Radishes-Susan-Lynn-Meyer-ebook/dp/B003F3FJIWV.

My family lost my great-grandfather.. And my 14-year old grandmother worked as a nurse at her school which was turned into a hospital. The country lost more than 20 000 000 (twenty million) people in the war. Here in Russia we remember the Victory, and of course we remember other countries involved but no doubt that the leading role in battling the German fascists belongs to the USSR! Every year there is a big Parade at the Red Square here in Moscow on May,9. This year it was held to celebrate 73th anniversary of the Great Victory. It is so strange that there are no books about Russia in your list...it is like seeing the small stuff and ignoring the elephant!

When I find a good book I write it down so I can find it again. <br /><br />I love Endless Steppes and The Hiding Place. There are so many great books that have been written by people who have lived the events of World War 2. <br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-60079266805916218082018-05-21T12:45:18.634-04:002018-05-21T12:45:18.634-04:00Chandra-

I read them myself or to my grandchildren when they are around.<br /><br />It may already be on your list of chapter books but The Endless Steppes by Esther Hautzig <br />and Jesse Owens The man who outran Hitler Also The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom (although this may be for teens and young adults it is intense, but beautiful in the faithfulness of God and such an example of forgiveness)<br /><br />Looking forward to your chapter books! <br />-BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
