Prisoner B Book Trailer | Scholastic
Please try again later. My 10 year old advanced reader loves this series. I was looking for a new series for him but struggled because he just isn't that into the fantasy type series. He prefers stories about real life. I was concerned the subject might be too much for his age but it is told in an age appropriate way. He devoured the whole series. My child read it for school but I got into the story equally. It is an amazing story about the Holocaust and survival based on true events reported to the author. The author takes you first hand into the life of a child during WWII and what he goes through to survive.
I rarely post reviews since I am so busy, but this book deserves a thoughtful review. I picked up the book for my 11yo son's summer reading list. He is hooked on anything WWII, but glamorizes war and the military aspects of the war which is normal! I wanted him to see another side I read the book before giving it to him and I think this book is perfect for that goal.
I get some of the negative reviews, but I am actually grateful for the way the story is told. If it wasn't told high level and a bit detached, it would be way to intense and long to be a children's book. The topic alone is about as intense as it gets and Yanek's experience spanned almost a decade.
All that being said, there are some scenes that are emotional and scary. I think the balance is good, but as a parent, we know our kids best and when they are ready for this type of thing. I downloaded the book to his kindle tonight and he doesn't want to put it down! Can I read one more chapter before going to bed? In one night, he started the book and read to chapter Bought for my son's summer reading. I decided to read it, couldn't wait to read after I started it.
Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Prisoner B is a very moving story that tells of the hardships of simply being Jewish during what we call the Holocaust. I recommend this book because it shows how we are so very very very 'lucky' for what we have and that we should see life for not what it is but for what it could be. The young boy Yanek learned that the only way to stay alive was to survive one more day.
Yanek survived 10 concentration camps between the age of 13 and Before the camp she survived the Krakow ghetto as a child. This corageous young man survived the war and immigrated to the USA. The book is a story of hardship and courage. I can't imagine what I would have done during the Holocaust. For the many souls who died, they are with God.

For the survivors, there's a special place in heaven for you with your family. This is a story of fear, starvation, and the horrible atrocities inflicted on people that one insane man claimed were not deserving of life. A Story of a little boy who saw his family members and friends disappear from his life, but against all of the odds kept his determination to live no matter what he endured.
When we start to feel sorry for ourselves, we need to remember the Holocaust, and it's victims and survivors. Every student wanted to read this and after every student read this, recommended it to all their friends. We must stay vigilante, this sort of hatred could happen again, right here in America.
This book will grab you by the throat and not let up until it is over.
There were times when I was choking up holding back tears on the train whilst reading this book. I have a new hero, for the protagonist you will read about but also for every Jewish person who suffered any loss by the Germans. Terrible truth, great read. This book is a great summary of what the Jews and others endured during the holocaust. The author admits to fabricating some of the circumstances so that the reader can gain even more of a window into the truths of those situations. With that said, it's the truly remarkable moments in Jacks the main character experiences that are factual anyway.
The audio performance is magnificent with accents and solid overall performance to keep you engaged. I wept for the families while I cheered his endurance and strength. I hope we learn acceptance and embrace diversity.
