BookList Review
Hedy's Journey : The True Story of a Hungarian Girl Fleeing the Holocaust
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
Books in the Encounter: Narrative Nonfiction Stories series tell true stories with historical settings. Introducing two wartime refugee families, these new entries offer stories of hardships, fears, and separation, and each ends well. Hedy's Journey opens in 1941, with a Jewish family fleeing Poland, all except teenage Hedy, who leaves soon afterward. After a frightening railway journey through Germany, she reunites with her parent and brother in Lisbon. Though discouraged by continuing difficulties, they escape to America. Bisson writes with great immediacy about Hedy, who was her mother. The author's note on Holocaust history is a personal one of learning her family's story over time. The attractive artwork suggests the time period while dramatizing the characters' emotions effectively. This handsome series both dramatizes and personalizes history through the experiences of individuals.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2017 Booklist
