A Coming Evil by Vivian Vande Velde

I love, love, loved this book. It is s a story of a girl named Lisette whose parents send her away to her aunt’s in the country so that she is away from Paris and the bombings. When her father drops her off, both she and her father find out that it is not just the Aunt and her cousin that live there. Her Aunt is hiding some Jewish children in her home. This is a time when harboring Jews could lead to death or imprisonment. The Germans’ are trying to eliminate the inferior races.


In the story, there is even mention of a ghost in the story. I was a little trepid to read this book thinking it would be the bad kind of scary. I found it a very cool story of two periods of time: Hitler’s time and a time of knights, kings, priests, and nobles. I learned much from this story and found it to be a very moving story. I’d recommend this to everyone. This was a very great story.
