In 1932 Berlin, thirteen-year-old Gaby Schramm witnesses the beginning of Hitler's rise to power, as soldiers become ubiquitous, her beloved literature teacher starts wearing a jewelled swastika pin, and the family's dear friend, Albert Einstein, leave the country while Gaby's parents secretly bury his books and papers in their small yard.
My Thoughts - I tend to enjoy historical fiction set in this time period. I imagine that Gaby's feelings and reactions to what was happening around her were typical of young people at that time. I liked this story, especially the twist with Albert Einstein and another twist with Gaby's sister.
