THE UPSTAIRS ROOM

By: Joanna Reiss

The Upstairs Room is one of the most entertaining books I've read. It is about Jews risking their lives and the lives of the people who are hiding them. The go from place to place so the German Army cannot find them and take them to "the camp". They see people go into the camp and never return. They also hear stories that people to the camp and get burnt alive. Will they ever get caught?

I liked this book because iin every chapter something exciting or amazing happens. In one chapter the German army goes house to house checking for Jews to take to the camp. Sini and her sister Annie (the main characters) are intheir hiding spot. I thought they'd get caught tor sure. This book keeps you on the edug of your seat every time you pick it up.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this book a 9.0. People who like books with lots of adventure and a touch of history, I highly recommed the book, THE UPSTAIRS ROOM!!
