Description In Favor Of Books The Wrong Boy

The story of a Jewish girl sent to Auschwitz with her family. She falls in love with the wrong boy – the German son of the camp commander.

Hanna is a talented pianist, and the protected second daughter of middle class Hungarian Jews. Relatively late in World War II the Budapest Jews were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. Hanna and her mother and sister are separated from her father. Her mother becomes increasingly mentally ill until she too is taken away somewhere. Her sister Erika is slowly starving to death. Hanna is quite a naïve 15-year-old but when presented with the opportunity to play piano for the camp commander, she is desperate to be chosen. She goes each day under guard to the commander’s house and stands waiting in case the commander should want some music. Also living in the house is the commander’s son, Karl. A handsome young man who seems completely disengaged from what is happening around him. Hanna hates him as he sits drawing in the music room. But the longer Hanna goes to the house, the more she realises there are other things going on. Secret things. Karl may not be the person she thinks he is. Before she knows it she has fallen in love with the wrong boy.

Evaluate Of Books The Wrong Boy
This book had such good reviews and I was hoping it would be a good junior fiction option for my middle school class, but my long-standing struggle with historical fiction came to the fore. Unless historical fiction is written skillfully it often feels like the author has a checklist of historical details - in this case the horrors of WWII Nazi concentration camps - that they need to tick off. Zail has also written a non-fiction novel about her father's experiences in the Holocaust and I

In my opinion this would be a fantastic way to introduce younger people to the topic of the holocaust. Sad but with happy, hope-filled moments as well. Not overly graphic while also addressing the horrors that went on.It doesn't romanticise them through avoidance.

I thought this book was pretty good, it grabbed me right away. The main character Hanna was an enjoyable person and I could really feel for her. The story is compelling and it really hits you hard, but it seemed really rushed especially the ending which is why I am only giving it a 3 out of 5 stars.

An absolutely lovely and well written book. I loved it and was excited to learn what happened next. I'd get so sucked into it I'd forget about anything else around me! Best experienced while listening to piano music.

This story is amazing.I won't say much, as not to spoil it, but I will have to say one thing, I know why it's called the wrong boy.If you've read the book, you would know Karl is 'the wrong boy', but he can be in two different views; he could be the boy she fell in love with, or the boy the Soviets took.

Although I found this book enjoyable it did have many lose ends that at the end of the book were left untied. You grew strong relations with the characters but at the end of the story I felt like the reader should be left more informed about what was going to happen to the girls with both the lover and the parents "presumed dead". It would not have hurt to leave them some kind of fortune, money, family, a future. It made the book very gloomy especially with the author constantly hinting that all
