"No fiction could match the excitement of this real-life tale of suspense and survival. "Eva's Journey" zips along, touching only lightly on the tragedy at its core. The focus instead is on the combination of luck and Eva's amazing presence of mind that allow the Jewish teen to evade capture by the Nazis for four years in occupied Poland and Russia. "Eva's Journey" is a glorious story of the resilient spirit triumphant over some of the worst human savagery our world has endured."
