Teen Book Club I Am David by Anne Holm Buy book: $5.36
Holm's 1963 novel "North to Freedom" is the basis for an upcoming motion picture from Walden Media, starring James Caviezel and Joan Plowright. In 1952, after escaping from the Communist concentration camp in Bulgaria where he's spent most of his life, 12-year-old David struggles to cope in a strange, new world, and seeks refuge in Denmark. David's extraordinary odyssey is dramatically chronicled in Holm's classic about the meaning of freedom and the power of hope.
This book seems interesting. The beggining sure was a cliff hanger. The book looks adventurous, and I love adventure. "I am David" wil hopefully turn out to be very good.
I read this book a couple of years ago, and this is the most amazing book! I loved it so much that I read it twice! Even if you don't like holocaust books you should still read this! It isn't anything about it! I encourage everyone to go and get this from their local library!!
If you are looking for this book at the library and you can't find it, try looking under North to Freedom. That's the title that I read this book under.
A couple of years ago a read all the Holocaust stuff I could get my hands on! This book looks pretty good. I just wish I could have read it in sixth grade.
This is a really intersting book. I think it will be a great idea to check it out from the library or even buy it. The end of this week will not stop me from continuing. I think that the man was trying to help David, not hurt him. I wonder what will happen on the ship?
Kristen- I own North to Freedom! I can't belive I didn't realise that before. If you like this book, there are some pretty good books on the same subject by Sonia Levitin.
This book is so good. I am definatly going to check it out from the library. I can't wait till tomarrows read. This book is just so fun to read and it seems to go by pretty quickly-(that is the only bad part).
This is definatly a book for me. Today's section just made me more courious. I really want to find out what will happen with the people. Will they find David? Don't anyone spoil the surprise for me though, I want to stay excited for tommorrows read. Good Luck Everyone!
This is a really great book. Tommarrow I am going to the library to get it, or if I like it enough I will buy it after I have read a little more. Can you imagine never being in a vehicle before. The only way we get from place to place now is by car. Even if I am going 10 min down the road my mom or dad take me in the car. I am so thankful for cars. Good luck everyone on next weeks book, Bye!
