T4 (YA) 5/5
This is a verse novel that tells the story of a deaf girl hiding from the Nazis. During WWII, disabled people were euthanized because they were deemed to be useless. This girl's family let their priest take her into hiding. This book once again illustrates the horrors that were done by the hands of the Nazis. It is so disturbing. The verse format makes it seem more personal so it is more powerful. MS and HS boys and girls would be the reading audience for this book.
