Industry Reviews
"Forceful and uncannily moving...A riveting story in which every element seems freshly lived."

"Often outrageous and abrasive, yet also delightfully imaginative, bright, and tenacious, Lydia is the archetype of a survivor, while her experiences on the periphery of the war's horrors are authentic and fascinating."
Bush

"In Lydia, Mr. Orlev has created a real hero, one that wins our admiration but never our pity. Children will love her, will cheer her on in her battles, and be uplifted by her triumphs. And they'll learn some fiendishly clever pranks along the way."
Bush
