Old Brown Suitcase

WOW! what an amazing book. I am only 14, so it is rare that a book captures my attention. Slava, the main character in the novel, is my age. I understand some of the things she goes through. I reccomend it to anyone. Age 11-111. So READ IT and enjoy ;) thanks

Masterpiece

Marvolous. And even that is not enough to describe it. I just could not put this down and have read it more then once. This something that everyone should read a least once no matter your age.

The Old Brown Suitcase

Hi. My name is Becca. I loved this book!The Old Brown SuitcaseI think that this book was very touching. It was educational hearing about what happened to the Jews in the war, and good hearing about this girl's veiw of the war, being right inside it. I think that if this book were rated out of 10, 1 being the lowest, I would give it a 10. Sure call me a softy for giving it perfect, but I really enjoyed this book. I thik this book would be best for grade 6/7 to adult. I recommend this book to all who love to read truely good books!Becca Kouwenhoven
