I Am David
by Anne Holm
Goodreads Summary:
David's entire twelve-year life has been spent in a grisly prison camp in Eastern Europe. He knows nothing of the outside world. But when he is given the chance to escape, he seizes it. With his vengeful enemies hot on his heels, David struggles to cope in this strange new world, where his only resources are a compass, a few crusts of bread, his two aching feet, and some vague advice to seek refuge in Denmark. Is that enough to survive?
David's extraordinary odyssey is dramatically chronicled in Anne Holm's classic about the meaning of freedom and the power of hope.
I loved how the author puts World War II into the eyes of a 12 year old boy. I love the fact that King (the dog) was really kind to David and saved David's life. I was an awesome book. It was full of mystery and action!
5 STARS!
