Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli Book Summary

A stunning novel of the Holocaust from Newbery Medalist, Jerry Spinelli. And don't miss the author's highly anticipated new novel, Dead Wednesday!

He's a boy called Jew. Gypsy. Stopthief. Filthy son of Abraham.

He's a boy who lives in the streets of Warsaw. He's a boy who steals food for himself, and the other orphans. He's a boy who believes in bread, and mothers, and angels.

He's a boy who wants to be a Nazi, with tall, shiny jackboots of his own-until the day that suddenly makes him change his mind.

And when the trains come to empty the Jews from the ghetto of the damned, he's a boy who realizes it's safest of all to be nobody.

Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli takes us to one of the most devastating settings imaginable-Nazi-occupied Warsaw during World War II-and tells a tale of heartbreak, hope, and survival through the bright eyes of a young Holocaust orphan.

Great book. The only book I've ever rea more than once this book is amazing and should be read in schools it teaches on a rough time in history in a goodway

Milkweed. I love this book. I think that this book is a really emotional,funny,somber book all wrapped into one and I think it's a great book for kids,teens,and adults.

Great book terrible ending. Read the title

Best book ever. One of my all time favorites.

Young Adult book is one of this regular adult's favorite.. I think Jerry Spinelli did an amazing job With this story. The portrayal of such awful times through the blunt and Naïve mind of a child are nothing short of brilliant. I aspire to be an author as descriptive yet elegantly simple as him.

Great book. One of the best books of all time!

Milkweed. This book was amazing I absolutely loved it!!!!!!! This Jerry Spinelli's best work!! :) I highly recommend it, this was a masterpiece!!!!! <3 <3 <3!

Incredible!. I think I can honestly say this is the best book I've ever read. Jerry Spinelli is an incredible author and this is one of his many incredible books. Milkweed, which I've read about 8 times, is an inspiring and emotional book and I was hysterical when it was over. It's a must read.

Great book. This a great book that I just can't get enough of cause it's just so awesome, worth ever penny

this book has changed my life and outlook on it. this book has changed my life and outlook on it I read this book about three years ago and it is the best book ever! I have nothing but good things to say and think about this book it is just amazing and will make you love life even more!!

Milkweed. This was the most amazing book I have ever read!

great book. i love this book i read it when i was in 6th grade and it was a great book finally i found it so i can read it again:o

Milkweed. This is a awesome book

one of the best children's books i have ever read. This book is for readers of all ages. The meaning behind the story is deep and profound. I read this book almost 10 years ago and I still remember it so well. This story has affected me as only few books have, amazing read for everyone!

Really good. I originally read this book in middle school and even though I don't remember much from it, I remember I thought it was really good.

Amazing. third time reading. always good.

Great book. This book is one of the bet I have ever read. It makes my heart ache. Anyone who wads this is destined to love it. I strongly suggest this book. Good job Jerry Spinelli!

This book made me cry😭. It’s an amazing book, and it has a very happy ending. But, if you are one of those people who don’t cry during movies or while reading a book, then I wouldn’t recommend this book. But I really liked it, and I’m a ten year old.

Milkweed. I read the book last year in English class great book and I hate books

Amazing. Fantastic book! Another prospective on such an awful time in the world. Thought provoking...just WONDERFUL!

This book is amazing. This book is amazing my teacher made up read it for school and I got it in my iPod and I've been reading it and the ending just made me cry, I wish he found Janina though.

Touches my heart. This book is part of my child hood, it is so emotional, it makes u want to cry, but in a good way....I think. Read it if u are a world war 2 fan, or just want to know more about what happens to jewish people in the Holocaust. It makes me wanna play Call of Duty: World at War just so I can play the Hero's

Memorable. I started reading this book at about 8pm once finished at 9pm. Now I am one of those people who doesn’t read books unless I like them. I read that boon in a hour and I read faster the better the book is. So as you can image I was very very happy and curious what he(Main protagonist) was going to do next. The setting is amazing, as is the story. The story is a deep cave you just wanna explore deeper and deeper. It’s one of my favorite books ever. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in history. And, you should always read more than once like I did I read that 2 years ago still reading it to this day.

Milkweed. This book- that I have read countless times and will continue to reread- never fails to break me down. It is both heartbreaking and beautiful, and I wish I could go back and read it for the first time again.

Excellent Read. I chose this book to read with a small group of advanced 8th graders that I spend lunch with once a week. We collectively broke the book down into four sections, planning to write reading responses and discuss the novel during our lunch meetings. I hadn't read it yet. I started it on a Friday night and ended up reading it in one whack! I am now wondering if my students are doing the same. A fabulous tale of survival that made me laugh out loud one page and cry the next. Spinelli does an excellent job bringing this piece of history to life. I am looking forward to hearing what my student have to say!

Milkweed. This book is tells a terrific story about a boy's life during the Holocaust. The story tells how the boy's life is confusing, love, crime and kindness. I recommend that teachers who are teaching their class about the Holocaust to read this book.

Milkweed. This book was pretty interesting. The only thing bad about it was that it was a lot going on. It was hard for me to explain the main idea of the book and it was hard to sum it up.

Milkweed by: Jerry Spinelli. I think this book goes beyond the old, original, and boring Social studies/history books. It uses imagination and sticks to history so kids (and adults) aren't confused by the data given. All in all, if you despiced books before you wont anymore after you read this novel. (Just a little side note: i'm an eight grader now, but i read this book in my 7th grade year... so best believe i was another simple minded teen who wouldn't dare read a book until Jerry S. came and given me this novel... I was very hesitant about reading

Milkweed. I thought this was a great book and I would read it again in a heart beat. The background of the story and how it took place. World war 2 I thought was incredible i loved this book

Milkweed. Milkweed is one of the best books I have ever read. It leaves you dying to read more and more. This is definitely recommended to anyone who wants a good time reading a amazing book.

I can't get enough! They should make this a movie for the oscars!. We are reading this in class in 7th grade and I don't read a lot and I must say I would read this 10000000000000000000 times over and over again. I can't get enough! If there were more stars on here I would so go for the highest! They should make this book a movie!

milkweed. This book was a very wonderful book, great book for reading at schools, very informational about the nazi attacks, in Poland

Great book. This is one of my favorite books so screw the people who hate it

A favorite of my youth. I asked to take this from my English teacher before he donated a box and I’m glad I did. It’s a book I have read multiple times and as a kid I was inspired to draw pictures of some of my favorite scenes. It’s a good glimpse into the time period and keeps you wanting to read.

Milkweed. Jerry Spinelli's best book! Amazing use of words & historical fiction!

🤢. the lice in the eyelashes did it for me…

Milkweed. I picked up this book because I have always been fascinated with world war 2 and kids who survived. This book really made me feel grateful that I have so much in my life and people who love me and support me

I'm speechless. Of all the great books we read in school, this has to be one of my favoite. It really makes you think about all of the troubles that people went through, and how horrible these innocent people were treated. At the end of the novel, you can really see how the character changed, even if it's not an obvious one. Overall, one of Spinelli's best works.

A true masterpiece. I had to do a report for hs on this book and im so glad i read it. This book is truly a masterpiece, it gives you imagery, you connect with the characters and I cried in the end. The book never gets boring something new always happens. I will definitely re-read this book again

Milkweed. This book was great!

One of the best books ever!!!. I do not give reviews very often, but this is one of the best books that I ever read. This book makes you feel like you are right there watching the story unfold. You should try it!

Amazing 😭😭. This book was so good and emotional I recommend it💖

Jerry Spinelli. I love all jerry spinelli books but they should really sell them for free

Beautiful.. This story is just... Breathtaking. It's perfectly told through the eyes of Misha, a young boy who grows up during World War II.

Great book. Great book for those who love historical fiction.

Milkweed. The best book I have ever read...

Wow. I know a bit about the Holocaust but, The main character was so unrealistic during World War 2. It’s not bad, but the character was horrible!!!

Best Book Ever. I loved the book so much I reread it 2 times

I read this book in reading. In reading we read this book chapter by chapter each day we finished it today and I seemed to be the only one that had watery eyes. My friend made a funny joke and I laughed then tear came down my face because of such a wonderful ending. I love this book do much... It's amazing...
