the best romantic book ever!
Rating:
4 / 5
This was a wonderful book. It is such a romantic twist! You won't be able to take your eyes off of it! I think that Christine and Adam made such a cute couple. Who in this world would want to break up such a couple that is truly meant to be? The ending of the book throws you off completely! This book I think personally should be made into a movie. It would be a great hit! My favorite character I'd say would be Christine. Christine is the cute, loving, caring, bittersweet, innocent girl that needs a little adventure in her life. The only adventure this girl very had was bad grades. So finally she meets Adam. Adam is the young, adventurous, boy who gets transported to America. Adam at first lived in Italy. Then the war struck ground and his family realized they needed to get out of the center of it. Then when they finally meet they just immediately know they are meant to be together. But, will their parents allow it? So I guess the saying is true, "war brought them together, and tore them apart."
A love story for young adults

This a story of a young girl, Christine Cook who is experiencing her first love with a boy named Adam. It just so happens to be a forbidden first love. Adam has just arrived at a refugee camp in Oswego, New York for Jewish people fleeing from Yugoslavia. Christine is forbidden to go to the refugee camp by her father. She disobeys his wishes and becomes friends with Adam. She soon develops her first crush on him. She gets an indescribable feeling when she is with him and soon discovers that she is in love with him. Through the school year she continually sneaks to the refugee camp to see him, until they both finally realize that they can not continue seeing each other because of the harm it is causing Christine's family.
This is an amazing book for young girls who are experiencing their first love. The story is beautifully told with out containing any graphic material and leaving just enough to the imagination. Christine shows girls how to deal with the insecurities they are facing in their lives. Christine's true self is portrayed by being described as strong, and adventurous, which both of these apply to many teenage girls. I think all teen girls should read this book by Miriam Bat-Ami, because of the adventure it sends you on as a reader and the ending that seems very appropriate.
A Very Good Book

Two Suns in the Sky by Miriam Bat-Ami is a wonderful story about first love and tolerance. The setting and events in the novel are based on factual events. The story is set during World War II. Jewish refugees come to the United States and stay at a refugee camp. Located at the site of Fort Ontario, a decommissioned army base, the Emergency Refugee Center served as a holding center for refugees until plans were finalized for their return to Europe or resettlement in the United States. This book is exciting, sad and it represents the reality of life for Jews during the War.
Miriam Bat-Ami has done an amazing job with the characters and setting. Her use of parallel voices chronicles both the problems of Jewish refugees and the responses to the refugees by Americans living near the shelter. She reinforces many of the themes and conflicts in the book by introducing each chapter with quotes from former refugees or other historical personages.
