A companion to Making Bombs for Hitler and The War Below, this novel follows a Ukrainian girl who was kidnapped as a child to be raised by a Nazi family.

Nadia is haunted by World War II. Her memories of the war are messy, coming back to her in pieces and flashes she can't control. Though her adoptive mother says they are safe now, Nadia's flashbacks keep coming.Sometimes she remembers running, hunger, and isolation. But other times she remembers living with a German family, and attending big rallies where she was praised for her light hair and blue eyes. The puzzle pieces don't quite fit together, and Nadia is scared by what might be true. Could she have been raised by Nazis? Were they her real family? What part did she play in the war?What Nadia finally discovers about her own history will shock her. But only when she understands the past can she truly face her future.Inspired by startling true events, Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch delivers a gripping and poignant story of one girl's determination to uncover her truth.

Review

Praise for Stolen Girl: "A gripping exploration of war-induced trauma, identity, and transformation." -- Kirkus Reviews"In addition to helping children understand conditions that immigrants face in current times, this stands as a deeply personal, relatable study of the long-term psychological effects of war on children, making it a useful addition to a Holocaust or World War II curriculum." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"Filled with historical detail, it highlights a forgotten and horrifying aspect of WWII . . . A fascinating, compelling read." -- Booklist"This is a strong addition to World War II historical fiction collections, shining a light on a little-known aspect of the Nazi regime's insidious programs." -- School Library JournalPraise for Making Bombs for Hitler: "A gripping story that asks: What would you do to survive?" -- Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee and Prisoner B-3087 "Inspired by real, historical accounts, this is a powerful, harrowing story of transformation." -- Booklist"Skrypuch draws on real-life stories of survivors in telling Lida's poignant tale, and she creates a cast of young people who are devoted to one another in both thought and deed... A well-told story of persistence, lost innocence, survival, and hope." -- Kirkus Reviews"The story [has a] strong undercurrent of friendship and loyalty; an author's note gives further background on this important piece of history." -- Publishers Weekly "Students will admire Lida's pluck amid such heinous conditions . . . An absorbing read about the lesser-known Ukrainian experience during World War II, this is a solid choice for curricular ties and for middle school historical fiction collections." -- School Library Journal "Skrypuch has written a gripping, emotional novel of one Ukrainian girl's perseverance during the horrors of war . . . This is a vivid picture of what youth experienced during World War II and the hopelessness of displaced populations of all backgrounds and religions." -- Voice of Youth AdvocatesPraise for The War Below: "The subject matter is powerful and grows occasionally quite intense. A page-turning window into a complex piece of World War II history." -- Kirkus Reviews"Skrypuch offers a compelling, visceral novel of survival that provides an unusual view of the war and the almost legendary Ukrainian Insurgent Army. . . the suspenseful story carries the reader along to its satisfying conclusion." -- Booklist"This story, full of numerous acts of compassion and valor, sheds welcome light on a less familiar battleground of World War II." -- Publishers Weekly"A riveting read." -- YA Books Central

Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch is the acclaimed author of 20+ books for young people including her popular WWII Making Bombs for Hitler novel trilogy and her non-fiction like Adrift at Sea: A Vietnamese Boy's Story of Survival.

Marsha is dyslexic and didn't learn to read until she was 9. The first book that she read and understood was Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and reading that book over the course of a year when she was in grade 4 for the second time was a life-transforming experience. It taught her that reading wasn't just a subject in school, but an immersive pleasure. By grade 8 she had read all of the big fat novels in the children's department of the Brantford Public Library whose authors' last names started with either A, B, C or D. By grade 9 she had figured out better ways to choose books.

Marsha now considers dyslexia to be a gift that helps her write the kinds of books that she does -- about people plunged in war whose stories haven't been told before and from perspectives rarely seen in children's literature. Marsha has deep respect for the intelligence and compassion of her young readers and she writes the books she wishes she could have found to read when she was a kid.

Marsha loves speaking with students of all ages, especially those who are struggling academically or who feel "different".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great historical fiction for MG readers and adults
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019

This was a great book for middle grade readers who enjoy historical fiction. It was about a 12-year old girl who immigrated to Canada after World War II with her "adoptive" parents, but her memories of her past haunt her dreams as she tries to remember where she originally came from. It loosely ties in with Making Bombs for Hitler. It was a surprising connection for me, but there is no need to read the other book to enjoy this one. Both books opened my eyes to what became of some young children during world war II. I don't want to spoil the book so will not explain what happened in either book. I enjoyed the book as an adult reader and my 13 year old son enjoyed the book as well. (He loves WWII history.) However I would imagine a girl might identify with the character more.

13 yr old boy and 11 yr old girl loved this book. They both read Making Bombs for Hitler first - apparently this story builds on to that one. Kids are telling me I need to read both books now.

I read this aloud to my 5 children in only 3 sittings, because no one wanted to pause. The book is so well written, and uniquely presents a history I had never been taught or even exposed to. The author deals candidly, but sensitively with the realities of WW2 and its aftermath. I have purchase all of this author's novels. We’ll begin Making Bombs for Hitler this week!
