Children of Bach
Dillon, Eilis 24338 Atheneum 1992 0684194406 / 9780684194400 Stated First Edition School & Library Bin Very Good in Good+ dust jacket
Ex-library book with expected markings, mylar cover shows some shelf/edge wear, pages are tight, text clean, DJ in GOOD+ condition, book in VERY GOOD condition! ; Ex-Library; ; "Grade 6-9-- The adolescent children of a Jewish family in Hungary return home from school one day to find that their parents and aunt have been taken away by German soldiers. The aunt escapes and comes back to the apartment, but only after the youngsters have spent several days fending for themselves, shopping for food, and trying to carry on without attracting attention to themselves. A friendly neighbor arranges to send the group to a remote Italian valley. Dillon shows thorough research and neatly integrates background into the story. The plot develops slowly at first, but picks up once Aunt Eva returns, and suspense builds as they make their journey hidden in a moving van. However, the teenage characters may be somewhat difficult for many readers to relate to; they are obsessed with classical music and practicing their instruments, and show little rebellion or identity crisis. The horrors of the Holocaust are not really mentioned, and the group meet more friends than foes along the way as they must choose whom they will trust. No real sense of peril or imminent danger truly emerges, but the relationships between the characters are interesting. "
