Salt to the Sea (re-read)

Book #25 Read in 2019
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

I reread this book when my YA Literature students picked it as the next class read.  It is wonderful YA historical fiction about one of the biggest sea disasters--one that most people have never heard of....  The book follows a central group of people trying to escape the Nazis.  They are complicated in personality and family-like in manner.  There are parts of this book that will hurt your heart.  Two of my students finished it during our last class, looked at me and said I'm glad I read it.  It is wonderful.
