I've been trying to remember the name of this book for years and finally found it on Amazon. The Endless Steppe was one of the most important books I read as a young teenager. It hit all of the right emotions and went right to the heart of the curiosity I had about this era.

Nothing like reading about Siberia to put the pandemic in perspective. I love this book. I read it years ago and was happy to reread it. It is written for young adults, but really for any age.

I found this book (with a different cover but it looks like the right book) in my classroom in grade 6. It was one of those books hidden in a cupboard with a bunch of other old things and I must say, I'm only *slightly* ashamed that I totally stole it so I could have it forever. :-O
"Worth stealing" should be a category here!

Another one from Scholastic Book Orders (I think) that really expanded what I knew about the world.

Vaguely remembered this book from childhood - I remembered it as a favorite that I re-read many times but it’s been at least 40 years. It’s really good with evocative prose and an interesting child’s perspective of Siberia during wartime in the 40s.

I read this years ago, when I was 10 or 11 and it has always stayed with me. Recently I saw someone reference it online and decided to read it again.

Revisiting my childhood bookshelf. A well-written insight into another Jewish experience during wwii that touches on the challenges and horrors while appreciating a child’s ability to add and enjoy even small moments.
