MILKWEED by Jerry Spinelli


Misha Pilsudski is a gypsy that steals, eats, and sleeps.  He wants to become a Nazi [jackboot] until he learns of the trains that are coming for the Jews and will bring them to camps to torture and kill them.  He tries to bring his NEW family [he was an orphan that taught himself how to steal} to safety.
The best part is when Misha taunts Buffo who tries to then kill him.
I would recommend this book to both boys and girls ages 10-13 years old.
RATING: ****
