Bag of
Marbles

Genre: YA Graphic Novel
Pages: 126
Published: 2013
Read: January
3 out of 5
Not knowing until I
finished, this is yet another nonfiction autobiographical graphic novel. It is
the true story of two Jewish brothers' journey to freedom during World War
II. It was a good adaption for his novel
and the illustrations were artistic (except everyone looked like they either
had bags under their eyes or black eyes). I enjoyed the few German phrases
(with interpretations) included in story. I wasn't overly impressed though nor
would I go out of my way to recommend this graphic novel to everyone. However,
it would be a great read for teens that need some insight of Jewish life during
WWII, but don't want to read an entire history book.
