White Bird by R. J. Palacio

I'll be honest, I didn't LOVE Wonder by R. J. Palacio. I thought it was fine but kind of over the top with the message. So I've never checked out any of her other books, but then I heard that she wrote a graphic novel set in WWII--and I was all in. I'm super interested in graphic novels (even though I haven't read a TON of them), but I got this one for Dane and he insisted that I read it. It was so good! It tells the story of a Jewish girl in WWII who has to hide from the Nazis and how she survived in a friend's barn. Like any WWII Holocaust story, it's depressing and sad. But I loved the graphic novel format for this book and loved how it packed such a punch in a short reading time.
