Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy is a true stroy

Yellow star is about a young girl named Estrella, who lived a happy normal life. Her happy life quickly turned into a horror life.

Estrella is a small six year old Jewish girl who lives in Poland. Her life has been the same as any young kids until 1939. Germans came in, and invaded her house. This poor little girl and her family were sent to the camps, for many of years. They fought hunger, abuse, and even death.
Estrella even tried to run away and got locked up in a cellar with her younger cousin, and her oldest sister Dora. Every day she fought for her life, and almost lost her family. Even her friend she met in the camp was killed in a gas chamber. Her family hid in graves so they wouldn’t get killed!

After long, hard years of living in a camp, and trying to survive there fight was over! They had won. 270,000 people entered the camps, and only 800 left alive. Only twelve of them were kids. One of them was Estrella.

I liked this book, but it was very hard for me to read. Yellow Star made me cry and made me think how well we have it here. I would recommend this book to many of people. I would also not recommend this book to people. I wish I would of stopped during the book , but I couldn’t. You definitely have to be strong to read this book. Even if you are strong you will still tear up.
