1 author picked Making Bombs for Hitler as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Set during WWII, this novel follows a Ukrainian girl who, with other children, is forced to make bombs for the German army. The story is captivating and fast-paced, and it’s hard not to admire the protagonist, Lida, who risks everything in her fight to do what she believes is right. I think books like this are so important because they ask readers to think hard about what they would do in similar situations.
From J. Kasper's list on middle grade for starting a revolution.
