The Earth is Singing

Heart-stoppingly beautiful and tragic historical fiction, based on true accounts. Perennially important and relevant subject; the Holocaust is taught at Key Stage 3 (age 13/14) of the History curriculum, and the book is told from the perspective of a girl who is almost exactly the age of teens studying the period. Offers a different perspective on the Holocaust, focusing on a relatively unknown part of its history – the tragic story of the Jews of Riga.
