Reviews
★ "Eger pares down The Choice, her National Jewish Book Award-winner and New York Times best-selling combination Holocaust memoir and self-help book, into a sensitive, thought-provoking account for teens. . . . Impactful for all readers, especially history enthusiasts or fellow trauma survivors."--Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
"Eger beautifully portrays liberation and returning to the world of the living. Dancing is the thread that holds her life together . . . Eger's reflections of suffering and seeds of hope are directly and beautifully wrought; the author's note reaches out to readers who are coping with pain and suffering in this modern age. . . . this is an important personal telling of Holocaust suffering and survival."--School Library Journal
★ "Eger's present-tense stream-of-consciousness narrative allows readers to experience the brutality of the Nazis but also the cooperation and encouragement among the inmates and the events that gave her postwar life meaning. A luminous memoir of human resilience."--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
