I liked her Grandfather's farmhouse, her visit to Emory and Felix. I liked her Grandfather's farmhouse because it gave her a safe place and something to distract her with good memories of her life before KLS, also she could place an object in there and it would appear in her dreamworld. I liked her visit to Emory because it gave her a taste of what a "normal" teenager did before they graduate high school and she got to look at students doing sculpting and see how they expressed themselves with materials, she also found out their tight time schedule. I liked Felix because he was bestfriends with Bryn and she could tell him about her dreamworld without being called deluded or given a child physiatrist's card, also he liked Dani and he was good for her unlike the jerks she had been dating before him.
I didn't like the shadows in her dream world, Drew's desperation and Bryn's father. I didn't like the shadows in her dreamworld because they kept coming for her as her sickness worsened and began to interfere with her life when she tried to help Roman find who he was. I didn't like Drew's desperation because Bryn had given him a chance and he wouldn't stop approaching her while she was also trying to search for Roman. I din't like Bryn's father because he couldn't manage that Bryn was sick with an incurable disease.
It was set in Austin, Texas and it finishes in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The storyline of the book is where Bryn stumbles upon a mysterious boy on her beach , she must find his identity before it's too late. I thought this book wasn't believable but I'd still rate it 8.7/10.

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr
I liked Zwirn Gasthof, her Mother's hard work and Max's improvement in school work. I liked the Zwirn Gasthof because it was like a vacation resort with its stunning view and beautiful lake. It was also a great place for the family to relax without the threat of Adolf Hitler on their doorstep. I like her Mother's hard work because it meant the appartment was clean and neat for the children to do their study and homework. She also put plates of food in front of them even with the shortage of money and fixed tears in their clothes and bought new shoes for Anna.
I liked Max's improvement because they had sent him to Lycée for boys which was a French high school and it was costing their parents a large amount to send him there. Max's report at the end of the year had positive comments from all his teachers and it showed how people can change. I didn't like Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the German family who stayed briefly at the Gasthof Zwirn and the French depression. I didn't like Adolf Hitler and the Nazis because they judged a person based on their religion and created concentration camps to torture them with their own frustration and also, he put a dark cloud on Germany from that point on.
I didn't like the French depression because it put so much pressure on Anna and her family who still had very little money to spare because of financial issues. It was set in Berlin, Germany then Zurich, Switzerland and it finishes in London, England. The storyline is when Anna and her family flee Germany because her Father openly critcised the Nazis and they were Jewish. I thought that this book was believable and I'd rate it 9.5/10.
