A Pocket Full of Seeds by Marilyn Sachs

Yet another holocaust/Nazi era survivor book.  This one is a little different, in that it is about a Jewish family that lived in France at the time of the occupation.  It is told from the viewpoint of Nicole an 11 year old girl
who lives with her parents and little sister.  She comes home one day to find them gone.    Based on a true story (the best kind of book in my opinion).  The book details the effects of war on her country, her town, and her friends and family.  A sad but insightful read.
