“Another story of WWII and the unfair treatment of a nation. Between Shades of Gray follows Lina, a 15 year old girl as she and her mother and brother are sent to Siberia by the Soviet government. The parallels to Hitler and his treatment of the Jews is obvious. Students can read both and compare. Studying the geography of the trip and Siberia would add a great deal to this story. This book can be paired with nonfiction accounts of the terrible events which befell people during the reign of some of the world's most brutal dictators. ”
