From those seeds, Ruta Septeys has crafted a brilliant story of love and survival that will keep their memory alive for generations to come."--Laurie Halse Anderson, bestselling author of Speak and Wintergirls "In terrifying detail, Ruta Sepetys re-creates World War II coming of age all too timely today. Between Shades of Gray is a document long overdue."--Richard Peck, Newbery Awardwinning author of A Year Down Yonder " Between Shades of Gray is a story of astonishing force. I feel grateful for a writer like Ruta Sepetys who bravely tells the hard story of what happens to the innocent when world leaders and their minions choose hate and oppression. Beautiful and unforgettable."--Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Newbery Honorwinning author of Hitler Youth "Sepetys has penned a harrowing and heartbreaking novel. Beautifully written and important."--Harlan Coben, international bestselling author of Shelter -- Ruta Sepetys

Unbelievable True Story
This book about the atrocities done to men and women was worst, if one could even com[are the horror of the Nazis to Jews. This was during similar times, but the monster in this was Russia. I don't want to give away the surprise ending, suffice it to say I learned a lot and didn't think I could sob about anything this late in life. But If you read this story you will be going on the ride of a lifetime. And it was certainly a cheap price. Thanks Ebay!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Used
The description says it is a new book, there are very obvious signs of use on the book. I typically don’t like buying used books online in case any pages would be missing or if the title is misleading such as this one. I am not going to return it but would definitely revoking a new copy rather then used.
