Overview

When the Nazi's invaded Poland at the beginning of World War II, they overtook Cracow's beloved Wawel Castle. It had been the center of town life for more than 600 years. Suddenly, it was the seat of Hitler's General Government. The citizens were in mortal danger. Bravely, they took the situation in hand and formed an underground resistance group named after their town park, Acorn Park. They began having secret meetings in the basement of a church. They planned and dreamed up ways to outsmart the Nazi's. They would have to be very clever if they were to get their family and friends out of Poland before their operation was discovered by the enemy. Time was not in their favor. Their success depended on whether they could raise funds, find temporary hiding places, figure out their transportation and connect with the few who had already escaped.

. . . Weaving historical facts with cultural insights about the Polish people and add romance into a young adult saga that moves far beyond politics to show how personal relationships become affected and impacted by political and social change and it's evident that With Love from Poland offers a special brand of educational opportunity not usually afforded to young adult readers. It's especially recommended for readers of other literature of the times, such as The Diary of Anne Frank, who would receive deeper inspections of Nazi impacts on daily lives through the fictional eyes of protagonists who face many difficult choices. -Midwest Book Review
