{"product_id":"to-hope-and-back-kathy-kacer-9781897187968","title":"To Hope and Back: The Journey of the St. Louis","description":"Based on the true story of the ship St. Louis, which left Germany in May 1939 full of Jewish passengers seeking refuge in Cuba. Denied port in Cuba, the US, and finally Canada, the St. Louis was forced to return Europe, where many passengers later died in the Holocaust. Through the eyes of two children, Sol and Lisa, both of whom survived the war and shared their experiences, we see as their journey begins with excitement and hope, only to end in frustration and fear. The children's chapters alternate with those of Captain Schroeder, who reveals the full history of the journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy Kacer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897187963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897187968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Second Story Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 6.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e147760 \/ To Hope and Back: The Journey of the St. Louis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Jewish Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2011 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012 pg. 617 - Recommended - Readable","brand":"Kathy Kacer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807023124735,"sku":"9781897187968","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_431acf81-1923-4fa6-9a4d-1b4a07178544.jpg?v=1745378339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-hope-and-back-kathy-kacer-9781897187968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
