''The True Story of Hansel and Gretel'' by Louise Murphy

Two children, a father and a step-mother running for their lives in Nazi invaded Poland. Separated, they all fight to stay alive with the hope of finding one another again.

I found this book to be somewhat slow and predictable. There were references to the old story we all grew up hearing. With the book being based in World War II times, it was a bit more profound in the human spirit. It displayed the evilness, rebellious, desperate needs of the Nazis. In the common people , desperation, discontent, loneliness, and heart felt goodness.

If you can handle some graphic detail into human pain, I do recommend picking this book up.
