This book is a very sad, happy, and heart-warming story! This book is taken place in the time of World War II. Hannah Stern gets taken back in time of the time of World War II. They are going to celebrate her so called told," Uncle's" wedding. When they get there people are going to take them to the concentration camps. I really liked this book. It is very heart-warming and I really advice you to read this!
This is what the back of the book says:
Hannah dreads going to her family's Passover Seder. Her relatives always tell the same stories, and Hannah's tired of hearing them talk about the past. But when she opens the front door to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah, she's transported to a Polish village-and the year 1942. Why is she there, and who is "Chaya" that everyone seems to think she is? Just as she begins to unravel the mystery, Nazi soldiers come and talk everyone in the village away. And the only Hannah knows what unspeakable horrors that await.
I really liked this book!
