Such an important read for younger readers. I think this is a great starting point to learn more about Hitler and World War Two. I even learned some new things. The art style is really good, and this is so easy to follow. The writing was kind of stilted to me though.

History is important. We learn about people's lives, people's stories.
We put an ear to what they were feeling at the time, what made them scared, grateful, happy. Especially with the increase of graphic novel adaptations, I think now is a great time to get the children reading.

I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944, is book #3 of the I Survived Graphic Novels series. It tells the story of Max Rosen and his sister, Zena, as they try to survive the fallout of the Nazi invasion. After their father was taken away by the Nazis, the two siblings escaped from the soldiers. They got brought into a safe camp by the Jewish resistance fighters. Though, not everything will be safe for sure.

I loved this book because I have been a fan of the I Survived chapter book series for a very long time. It is by far the most nostalgic roller coaster ride! As for the illustrations, they were vivid, emotional, and captured the moments well. I think something about every I Survived book is that it is never repetitive. Each book is always unique in its way. It always tells a different story using a different perspective. And I love that!

All in all, I highly recommend this one.

This was a great book to read with a younger child who wants to learn about world war two, just a simplified story of just one pair of children. This also gives a nice look of the resistance who were trying to make small actions they could do to change the tide of the war. Loved it.

The art is beautiful. The story and the history are devastating and yet full of hope. This series makes history and its importance come alive for readers young and old. The fact that it's a graphic novel makes it even more accessible to kids who struggle with reading.
