When the train pulls into the station in Jenkensville, Arkansas, Patty Bergen senses something exciting is going to happen. German prisoners of war have arrived to make their new home in the prison camp. To the rest of the town these prisoners are only Nazis, but to Patty, a young Jewish girl with a turbulent home life, one of the young soldiers becomes an unlikely friend. Anton understands her in a way her parents never could and Patty is willing to lose her own family, friends and even freedom for a boy who becomes the most important part of her life.

I read this book at school and when I saw the cover I thought it would be very boring but then after I started reading the first two chapters I realised it was a truly amazing book.
The story is about a 12 year old girl named Patty Bergen, she is a Jewish girl born in America in World War 2 , her parents do not show any love to her. Her only friend is her black house maid Ruth. One day a German prisinor of war comes into her fathers shop and she serves him.
Later in the story he escapes prison so she finds him and helps him , by feeding him and giving him clothes, its the best time of her life because she loves him so much but it brings her so much despair. This is a moving story, you must read it.

summer of my german soldier is a great book. it does not have as much romance as its sequel, but its probably more heart felt. it shows the relationship and non predjudice between an american jewish girl and a german nazi. aloouth she risks so much Patty is willing to help Anton for she realizes he is a truesly good person, no matter what nationality. a sad, entertaining and interesing book, that will hold your attention.

I read this book so many times as a young teenager and it was one of my favourites - guaranteed to have me in tears every time! Buy it for any young girl you know - I'm sure they'll love it.
