Run, Boy, Run

good shape

I suffered a stroke ten years ago which resulted in the loss of any functionality in my left hand and arm. Reading Jurek's story was truly an inspiration for me. My wife and I are planning a trip to Israel in the near future and we would be honored to meet you. Jurek, you have earned and deserve your happiness and success.This book to me is the cornerstone of courage and determination, believe me it truly puts the holocaust and all antisemitism on a level that could affect any of our children. Please read it.

Excellent story . Edge of my seat . Read in one day and then viewed movie

The true story of a little little Polish boy on the run from the Germans and their collaborators during World War II. He's Jewish, of course. The story is powerful enough for one to ot be able to put the book down in any case, but it's also written rather well and seems to spare no effort and letting you into the experience of this kid. He really had courage and grit and stamina. I'd have given up by day three.Wonderful for children to read as well because it's not just compelling but inspiring.I only discovered later that there's a Polish movie on this story.

It gave me an opportunity to remind me, when I was through an ordeal to survive the years of German occupation when I was only 9 years old, and lost somewhere in the rural aeria., hungry and cold, with determination to keep going, for about two years. In 1943 i find my way back home as of a miracle.

Srulik's survival is a heart breaking account of a child surviving by his wits, others kindness, and some pure luck. I really enjoyed the book, the reason I gave it only 4 stars is the simplicity for the writing itself. I would recommend this book for young adult and older. Overall, a great read.

I found this book a bit "easy" for me, but I think it would be perfect for a tween who is looking to explore the Holocaust. I was quite pleased to discover it was based on a real child - like "A Diary of Anne Frank," I think this adds to its charm. I would definitely recommend it to parents looking for age-appropriate books.

A very moving true story of a young Jewish boy escaping capture by the Germans. His experiences both in the forest and in working for several Polish farmers are amazing. I purchased a copy for my ten year old grandson. Children today in America have such an easy life and need to understand that all can fall apart. Children need to understand about other children who do go hungry and are force to eat things that are gross.I highly recommend the book.

I would recommend this if you are interested in what happened to the poor Jewish people in the second world war

Wonderful read, but sadly shows ordeals undertaken to exist.

Very hearfelt and readable

The book was a good read, it's like a short novel and is a good quick easy read but their are a lot more better books on the holocaust

suspence story with shocking surprises some of it seems too far fetched unlees he was a cat with nine lives
