Based on a True Story,
By
This review is from: Twenty and Ten (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: Read aloud to ds as part of our history curriculum.Based on a true story, this book tells of a tale in which ten Jewish children are brought to a small Catholic school in the countryside of France up in the mountains. There are currently twenty students at this school. The Sister asks the students if they will be capable of hiding the Jewish children from the Nazis and they agree. Thus the children play and learn together until one day Sister does not return from town and the Nazis arrive at the school looking for the Jewish children. A lovely little story that has become a classic. The ending is quite intense and the book is very enjoyable . There is a religious element to the story, that is crucial to the plot, but that only revolves around one bible story involving King Herod's search for the baby Jesus. A fast read but a gripping story that shows that even children can make a difference against evil. A movie has been made based on the book and we tried to get a copy through ILL but were unsuccessful.

GREAT READ!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twenty and Ten (Paperback)
The book I think you should read is Twenty and Ten by Claire Huchet Bishop. Twenty and Ten deals with the Holocaust and concentration camps. Kids had tobe hidden from the Nazis because they were endanger of being sent away to a concentration camp . It took place around World War II In Twenty and Ten Nazis are trying to steal the kids from the Jews. When I read this book it was extremely emotional and shocking. When I read the book I felt like I could feel their pain and felt what it was like to be locked up and also I felt heroic, like I was the one saving and fighting for the kid's lives. This book is a great read.

Ten and Twenty,
By Justin Russell (yakima WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twenty and Ten (Paperback)
What I thought of the book is that it was good. It was short but I liked it. In the beginning it is not very interesting, but after you get into the book its not so bad. What I like the best about this story is it is suspensful and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. It also makes you realize how hard it was on those kids during those time.
