About the Author:
Susan Goldman Rubin is the author of many biographies for young people, most recently Degas and the Dance, an ALA Notable Book. Her biography of Margaret Bourke-White was named an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults and a Smithsonian Notable Book for Children. She lives in Malibu, CA.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 5-8-This book explores and compares the impact of World War II on the lives of two sisters in the United States and two in the Netherlands. It is held together by the correspondence between Juanita Wagner, a girl growing up in Iowa, and Anne Frank in Amsterdam. The girls were matched as pen pals in 1939, and they exchanged a total of two letters before the war interrupted their budding friendship. The author details what happened to them and their families throughout the war years and thereafter. Throughout, she tends to assume that the brief correspondence had a significant impact on the girls' lives and that it was frequently on their minds. This is especially questionable in Anne's case, as her pen pal is never mentioned in her copious journal entries. Nonetheless, this is a compelling read that highlights the reality of war at home and abroad, and readers are bound to be moved by the story. Hopefully it will inspire them to tackle Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition (Doubleday, 1995) and Mirjam Pressler's Anne Frank: A Hidden Life (Dutton, 2000).
