Garner, Eleanor Ramrath.
ELEANOR'S STORY : AN AMERICAN GIRL IN HITLER'S GERMANY
Atlanta, GA : Peachtree, 1999.
IL YA
ISBN 1561451932
When Eleanor was nine-years-old her parents moved their family from New Jersey, where Eleanor had been born, to their native Germany where Eleanor's father had found a good job as an engineer. Unfortunately, while on the ship crossing the Atlantic, World War II began and the family was trapped in Germany for the next seven years. Eleanor tries to adjust while maintaining her American identity but as the years go by and the family endures separation, starvation, illness, bombings, and the final battle for Berlin and the Russian invasion, survival becomes her only concern. You will not want to put down this intense coming-of-age survival story about civilians in Hitler's Germany.  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2003-2004)
