The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in whats said and in what is left out.-ALA Booklist (starred review)Marion Blumenthal Lazans unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitlers rise to power, the Blumenthal family-father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert-were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive.Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. A harrowing and often moving account.-School Library Journal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51527309426976,"sku":"NEW0062489968","price":9.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71xhuI6WERL.jpg?v=1777229613","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/four-perfect-pebbles-a-true-story-of-the-holocaust-0062489968","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
