From a Canadian pov the book concerns a fictional Polish Jewish orphan who has emigrated to Manitoba, Canada and her diary entries always start with a little bit about what life is like for her now in the new country. This is an outstanding book in the series and really adds to the collection and children's Holocaust stories in general by its topic and the way it's presented. One always has to look to the title page to find the author on these books, so it's like a hidden treasure when you see a favourite author there. * Interview with Rona Arato, author of Mrs.I knew this would be good when I noted that Carol Matas was the author. * Interview with David Bezmozgis, author of The Free World, 2011 * Interview with Lesley Simpson, author of A Song For My Sister, 2012 * Interview with Kathy Kacer, author of We Are Their Voice, 2013 * Interview with Sharon McKay, author of Enemy Territory, 2013 * Interview with Carol Matas, author of Pieces of the Past: The Holocaust Diary of Rose Rabinowitz, 2015
