Can you imagine being cooped up inside for over two years? It seems impossible. For my novel, I read The Upstairs Room. This book is based on the true story of Johanna Reiss and her sister who were forced to go into hiding because they were Jewish. The story covers the time from 1938 to 1944 which they spent in Holland. What sets The Upstairs Room apart from most other books is that it is written through the eyes of a young girl named Annie, who is only about 8 years old when the book begins. It tells of little Annie, a ten-year-old child who has to go into hiding during World War II. She must dye her hair, hide her face, and live with people she has never even met before! Annie's only company is her big sister, Sini and the family of strangers: Johan, his wife Dientje, and Opoe. This is a story of two little girls, Annie & Sini, who are Jewish. They lived in Wintersjwick, Europe at the time when Hitler was killing many Jews and taking over Europe. Annie and Sini's father decides to take them to Holland and to a family named the Hanninks. The Hanninks are very rich people and think what Hitler is doing is very wrong, so they agreed to hide Annie and Sini until the war is over. When the Hanninks have guests over, Annie knocks over a chair, so when the guests leave, the Hanninks decide to send Annie and Sini to the Oostervelds. Another family taking in Jews and protecting them, for one week incase the guests tell the Nazis, and the Nazi's come. That one-week that Annie and Sini are supposed to spend at the Oostervelds turned into two years. This book mainly takes place in the upstairs room of a house. I learned how she felt, and what it's like for a child growing during the Holocaust. She is not aloud to go to school any more and she is not happy, all she wants to do is go for a long bike ride. The climax of the story was when the family had to go into hiding. When they were hiding they had to move from house to house, that made the story very suspenseful.
