Between Shades of Gray by Ruta SepetysMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really well-written book about little-known events in history during World War II. It follows Lina, a young Lithuanian girl who was taken to a Siberian work camp and struggled to survive. It was heartbreaking and hard to read at times, but also an important part of history that has been widely forgotten. The author is Lithuanian herself and drew on the experiences from her own family and others she interviewed who went through this experience. I certainly plan to recommend this book to my students. The content was hard to read, but powerful and important.
