Resistance by Jennifer A. Nielsen is an amazing book. This book is a fictional story following the adventures of a Jewish girl names Chaya during World War II. Chaya is a 16 year old girl from Poland joining the resistance to fight against Adolf Hitler and save the people being tortured during the war. Nazis and soldiers from Poland both attack Jews for little entertainment, and she is trying to stop that. She makes a friend out of someone she despised who helps her on the way. What makes this book good is that it gives a message. It gives the idea that no matter the consequences, it is always best to give others hope and fight for what’s right. It also has some history of the war involved. Doing some research on World War II makes the book satisfy almost any reader. It is historically correct in some places, but it also isn’t based entirely on historical events. It does use historical event and figures to create some of the characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes realistic fiction and history.
