Little Girl Lost

I have just finished reading a book called ' Little Girl Lost'. The book was written by Barbie Probert-Wright and Jean Ritchie.  The book was a true story about two girls surviving the war in 1948.

The book had text that was easy to read and understand.  The book had a very gripping storyline, i was hooked from the very first page. I couldn't put the book down.

The book was all about a seven year old girl named Barbie and her older sister Eva. Eva was nineteen. Eva and Barbie were trapped and terrified in Germany in the middle of a war. After Barbie and Eva's father went to serve in the war he dissappeared and his family thought that he was dead or missing. With Eva and Barbie miles and miles to travel to get to their mother they decided to flee the invasion and try and get back to their mother. The journey for seven year old Barbie was a lot harder than that of her nineteen year old sister Eva.  As they tried to cover the hundreds of miles across the country they had to encounter many many unimaginable hardships. They had to deal with army's fighting, sleeping rough, no food to eat, bomb raids and Eva was sadly raped and they had all their belongings stolen. Both girls made it to their mother but neither was unscaved. What terrible things did these two incredible young girls have to endure? I would strongly recommend that you read this book, it is a fantastic true story that you will enjoy reading.
