Books with author S. Isaacs

I’m sad because my best friend has moved away. I’m mad because people at school call me gay, when I’m not. I’m glad to have made a new friend, a transfer student from America called Luke. And I’m confused because he’s quickly becoming the most important person in my life. I’m Taylor Brooks-Brown, and these are the problems I’m having. Full disclosure: 'Problems I'm Having' is a coming of age story about the curious attraction between two boys and should not be read by anyone who is offended by this.

It is June 30, l943 in Bendin, Poland. Twelve-year-old Eva has been hiding in an attic with her Papa as Nazi's ravage what was once her safe, comfortable town. Now the store windows are boarded up and Nazi signs warn against buying goods from Jewish merchants. Three weeks ago, her sister Rachael was snatched from the street by German soldiers and forced to work in a Nazi labor camp in Czechoslovakia. Tonight, to save Eva from certain death in Auschwitz, Papa tells her he is sending her, voluntarily, to the labor camp where her sister is imprisoned. There the girls must live out the war years as prisoners, making clothing and blankets for the Nazis. How the girls find the strength and courage to keep going under these extraordinary circumstances makes for a moving and unforgettable story.
