Quotes

Praise for Under Attack (Kidnapped From Ukraine #1):* "Gut-punching: This is essential reading." -- Kirkus, starred reviewPraise for Winterkill:"Unflinching...Skrypuch handles difficult themes with intelligence and honesty...couldn't be timelier today." -- The New York Times Book Review"In a timely, hard-hitting novel, Forchuk portrays the manufactured famine Holodomor that Stalinists inflicted on Soviet Ukrainian farmers in the early 1930s...[providing] important historical context around history that has resonance for current events." -- Publishers WeeklyPraise for Traitors Among Us:* "Told in alternating chapters narrated in the first person by Ukrainian sisters Krystia, 16, and Maria, 14, this gripping novel tells a lesser-known story of the war's horror... this is ultimately a story of the strength of the human spirit. Krystia and Maria are survivors, and they never give up, drawing strength from remembering their parents' belief in them as they struggle to stay alive. Gripping, harsh, and superbly written." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewPraise for Stolen Girl:"The author once again deftly sheds light on lesser-known aspects of the Ukrainian experience during WWII . . . A gripping exploration of war-induced trauma, identity, and transformation." -- Kirkus Reviews"A fascinating, compelling read." -- Booklist"In addition to helping children understand conditions that immigrants face in current times, this stands as a deeply personal, relatable study of the long-term psychological effects of war on children, making it a useful addition to a Holocaust or World War II curriculum." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"Excellent back matter . . . gives context to Nadia's story . . . This is a strong addition to World War II historical fiction collections, shining a light on a little-known aspect of the Nazi regime's insidious programs." -- School Library JournalPraise for Making Bombs for Hitler:"A gripping story that asks: What would you do to survive?" -- Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee
