Castles Burning - by Magda Denes (Paperback)

This is a heart-wrenching and powerful story of a young girl's journey through the horrors of war, told in her own voice.

The narrator, Magda Denes, is a precocious nine-year-old who finds herself torn from the safety of her home and plunged into a world of deprivation, separation, and loss when her family goes into hiding from the fascist Arrow-Cross.

Despite the unimaginable hardships she faces, Magda's spirit remains unbroken, and her determination to survive and keep hope alive is inspiring.

Through her eyes, we see the world around her with a clarity and insight that belies her young age, and her story will stay with you long after you finish reading.

This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever faced adversity and come out stronger on the other side.
