Milkweed

Milkweed is a 208 page book by Jerry Spinelli about a boy who steals food on the streets. This book was based during the Holocaust and part-way through the book, the boy, Misha, is thrown into a ghetto. He finds the family of his friend, Janina, and her family takes him in as their son. Does Misha escape the ghetto, or is he swept away on a train of death. Read the book to find out. I would recommend this book to everyone.


Here is my project on the Holocaust.
