Product Description
Product Description
Alice is eleven years old, and it is wartime. She is on a train with no seats, no lights, no sanitary facilities. Her parents and her grandmother are missing, and Alice doesn't know where she is going. Maybe she will get to play outside again, maybe she will see her parents. But as the train rolls on, Alice begins to realize that just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, they do. "No reader will be immune to the plight of these people, powerless in the face of overwhelming evil."-- "Kirkus Reviews"

I first read this book when i was fourteen. I couldn't put it down, i read it in one go, hiding under the duvet long after my parents had gone to bed so I could find out what happened to Alice. A new realisation about the world came through this book. 'The Final Journey' is intense and moving, the ending confirms Gudrun Pausewang's abilities as a writer. I find this book just as poignant today, don't be put off because it's a translation, it's a good one. If everyone in the world read this book maybe it would change how we treat each other, just a little.

I'm am now 13 years old and read this book when i was about 12. I love learning about the Holocaust and i found this book to be very life like. I could accually put myself in each characters shoes. I cryed through alot of it but that is one of the things that made it great. If you cry through a book that means the author did a good job because you can accually feel what the characters are going through. I would recomend this book because it is frighteningly relistic.
Format:Paperback
As a school librarian I have read many childrens' books, but if you want an account of the everyday horror of a few days in the life of a Jewish child in Hitler's Germany, then this is the one book to read.
It gives the reader such an insight into the details of living on those trains which took people to the camps.
Truly an amazing read, but make sure you have a box of tissues handy.
