Hide n' Seek

 



"The Forest of Vanishing Stars" by Kristin Harmel is for historical fiction lovers of WWII novels. It is a story of people, mostly Jews hiding and surviving in the woods. It was inspired by a true story of a community of over a thousand Jews hiding in the forests of Poland.
In this story, our protagonist was stolen as an infant by a mystic who lived in the woods. Her name is Yona. She learns how to live in the forest and later on uses those skills to help others.
It is an easy read and enjoyable.
