Overview

Winner of the Young Quills Historical Novel Award. Longlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal. My name is Hanna Michelson. I am 15. I am Latvian. I live with my mother and grandmother. My father is missing - taken by the Russians. I have a boyfriend. When he holds my hand, everything feels perfect. I'm training to be a dancer. But none of that matters now. Because the Nazis have arrived, and I am a Jew. And as far as they are concerned, that is all that matters. This is my story.

Reviews

'The Earth is Singing' was a beautiful, empowering book with a storyline so powerful, it's enough to make anyone emotional. It was so capturing, you won't be able to turn the pages fast enough! * Monisah Ali, age 16, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * A remarkably well told story that both astonishes and is heartbreaking while being beautiful written... I recommend this book for any fans of 'Anne Frank'. Unforgettable and touching! * Edel Waugh, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * A stark and at times shocking and heart-breaking story that really communicates the horror of the Holocaust. * Reading Zone * A tragic, harrowing and deeply moving account of the Holocaust from the perspective of an ordinary girl. * The Bookseller * A true treasure of a book that will stay with you long after you finish the final page... A must read. * Louisa Cunliffe, age 17, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
