The Diary of Laura's Twin

Product Description

My name is Sara Gittler and I am thirteen and a half years old. I have lived here behind barbed wire and high walls for more than a year.
I dream of walking down a busy street and stopping in a cafe for ice-cream and cake. I dream of buying a new dress, or maybe ten of them. Most of all, I dream of being a famous writer and having everyone read my stories and remember my name.
My stories speak for my life; they speak for me. Please, remember me.
Three weeks before her Bat Mitzvah, Laura is given a mysterious diary, written more than sixty years ago in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. Soon she is swept up in Sara's story - the story of a girl just like herself, whose experience and courage can now help Laura to confront prejudice in her own time.
