"I remember being able to taste dust in my mouth as I was reading this book. My teacher would read us chapters after recess. I remember being so thirsty from playing outside in the sun and feeling like I might never get to drink water again. It s a powerful, relatable, and historical telling of a tragic time in history. I still love this book."
