Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli(Historical Fiction)

     Milkweed, by Jerry Spinelli, is about this boy that is know by anything.(Jew, Gypsy, thief, stopthief, Filthy son of Abraham, Misha.) Misha lives in the streets of Warsaw and meets many people, and goes through the hard times of the Holocaust. In the beginning he loves the Jackboots(Nazi's) and he wants to become one of them. Until a time in his life, he laughs at everything that they laugh at, and he loves everything that they love. In a way he sort of seemed corrupted by the Nazis.

     In my opinion, the book, Milkweed, was really good, I just couldn't find out what the climax was, and where/what everything was placed. The storyline was really good, and I felt bad for the boy because he didn't remember his family, and he didn't even know his own name. The reason why he was going by Stopthief was because that was what everyone told him whenever he was stealing bread or anything of that sort. I think this would be a great book for all ages. I think that people with a liking of history and adventure would really like this book.
