Awesome book about an orphan who runs away from his aunt and uncle and does amazing feats during his time away. He has interesting adventures, meets some diverse characters, learns some hard lessons but teaches some too. Hilarious and thought provoking story set in a time when towns were divided based on color.

Wonderful book based on the author's real experience as a young teenager during the Holocaust. The story is graphic at times, but to tell the true horrors of this horrific event, these graphic stories must be conveyed. Great book to see just how unfair things could be and the grace in which to handle such adversity. (Religion is of course at the basis of this book. Elie does question his fate as it is happening.)
