Reach for this book when your teenager is ready to confront the complexities of history through a lens of profound empathy and moral courage. This story follows Rose Justice, a young American transport pilot during World War II who is captured and sent to Ravensbruck, a women's concentration camp. While the setting is undeniably dark, the narrative focuses on the 'Rabbits,' Polish political prisoners subjected to horrific medical experiments, and the sisterhood that forms among them. It is a masterclass in resilience, exploring how poetry, friendship, and shared humanity can endure even the most systematic cruelty. Parents will find it an essential tool for discussing historical justice and the strength found in communal resistance, though its unflinching look at the Holocaust makes it best suited for mature readers aged 14 and up.
