"This debut novel, loosely based on the author's father's experiences . . . raises important questions about nationalism, equality, and identity, and fills a void in Holocaust literature for this age group. [A] fictionalized family account of the Holocaust from a rarely told perspective."--Kirkus Reviews
"Meyer builds the tension by using real-life events (detailed in an author's note), creating in Gustave a very believable boy struggling to learn to cover up his emotions, who behaves bravely when he must."--Horn Book Magazine
"This is a taut historical exploration of one family's trials and tribulations."--The Bulletin
"[Portrays] vivid details of daily life and the depiction of changes slowly taking place within Gustave. This fine first novel could be read in conjunction with The Good Liar."--Booklist
"A dramatic tale of courage and determination"--School Library Journal
