Why read it?
1 author picked Run Like Jager as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it also deals with an aspect and perspective on WWII that isn’t commonly explored, and Karen Bass is such a good writer. This novel is about Kurt, a Canadian boy who wonders what his German grandfather did during WWII while drafted into the Wehrmacht. When Kurt goes to Germany to do some research, he finds out more than he would have liked.
From Marsha's list on young people trapped between two enemies.
