Until recently I'm sure I had read very little fiction set in or around World War II. One of the tasks in the Read Harder Challenge this year is to read a book about war, and all of a sudden they are popping up all over my TBR list!

This was a birthday present, which S picked up because I have been talking about reading All the Light We Cannot See and The Book Thief.

  

I think this does a fantastic job of introducing World War II in an age-appropriate way (as problematic as identifying books as 'age-appropriate' - but hopefully you know what I mean!), and gives an opening to discuss issues like discrimination with a child. I also think it would be a good place to start with a child who you weren't sure was ready for Anne Frank.
