Waiting for Anya
by Michael Morpurgo
This is a moving wartime story set in a small farming village in the mountains on the border between France and Spain. German soldiers have just moved into the village. Michael Morpurgo tells it with warmth and quiet suspense, so it's a gentle way for children to start learning about the Holocaust and the Second World War. It also works well alongside The Diary of Anne Frank.
