Like Mattie, Anne lived in a frightful time of the World War II, when the Nazis killed many Jews, blaming that they were the reason why Germany was defeated in the World War I. Both Mattie and Anne had to leave their homes and hid somewhere else in order to survive. Both of them had to watch people die at very young ages. But they had one good thing in common. Mattie and Anne did not give up their hope and courage even in heartbreaking moments. They tried to look at the bright side when many people only saw the opposite. This book might have focused mainly on yellow fever and Mattie’s survival at that time, but I think the change that occurred inside her was important, as well. I wasn’t really a big fan of historical fictions because I didn’t like reading books that looked like social studies textbooks. I especially didn’t want to read this book because there was a huge ‘1793’ written on the cover. But lots of people recommended this book to me and so I decided to give it a shot. After I read the first 2 chapters, I couldn’t get my hands off of it. The story was fantastic and inspiring. I liked the way how the author included direct quotes from that time in every chapter, since it was fun trying to predict what would happen while reading them. I highly recommend this book to everyone around my age. By reading this book, they will also realize that historical novels are as good as fantasy

The day of September passed, the girls went to Mrs. Hirsch’s shop to buy buttons for Kristi’s shirt, but the shop was closed, due to the German’s orders to close stores that ran by Jews. The next night, while Ellen’s parents were in a secluded place, Ellen came over to Annemarie’s house to evade the search of the German soldiers because the Germans planned to arrest all the Danish Jews, and Ellen was Jewish. After the German soldiers came that night, the Johansens thought the soldiers were suspicious of Ellen, so Mrs. Johansen decided to take the girls to her brother, Henrick’s house.
