Summer of My German Soldier

I just thought I was releasing this book at Project Graduation. Instead, the book somehow ended up coming home with me. I read it today. What a powerful story. A young girl, criticized and cruelly treated by her parents, meets a German POW, captured and held captive in a POW camp in Arkansas during WWII. The POW escapes and the girl finds a way to bring him food and water and a safe place to stay. The characters felt intensely real to me and I felt deep compassion for the girl. This would be a great book for discussion.
