Don't Tell the Nazis

Seeing the war through a young character's eyes adds such emotional depth. I'm curious whether this choice was based on personal experience or a desire to connect with younger readers.

The characters often grapple with whether to speak out or stay silent. How do readers interpret their decisions—are they showing courage or fear?

The events felt real and impactful, but I wonder how much was simplified or adapted for younger readers without losing the gravity of the story.
