"A shining story of a young girl who struggles to come of age and find her place in a world fraught with danger." --Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Newbery Honor-winning author of Hitler Youth

* Winner of the Youth Prize at the Angoul me International Comics Festival (voted by readers) * Winner of the Art misia Prize for Historical Fiction * Winner of the Andersen Premio Prize *

This middle grade graphic novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 7 to 8, especially during homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom.

A magnificent narrative inspired by a true survival story that asks universal questions about a young girl's coming of age story, her identity, her passions, and her first loves.

At the S vres Children's Home outside Paris, Rachel Cohen has discovered her passion--photography. Although she hasn't heard from her parents in months, she loves the people at her school, adores capturing what she sees in pictures, and tries not to worry too much about Hitler's war. But as France buckles under the Nazi regime, danger closes in, and Rachel must change her name and go into hiding.

As Catherine Colin, Rachel Cohen is faced with leaving the S vres Home--and the friends she made there--behind. But with her beautiful camera, Catherine possesses an object with the power to remember. For the rest of the war, Catherine bears witness to her own journey, and to the countless heroes whose courage and generosity saved the lives of many, including her own.

Based on the author's mother's own experiences as a hidden child in France during World War II, Catherine's War is one of the most accessible historical graphic novels featuring a powerful girl since Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi--perfect for fans of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief, Anne Frank, or Helen Keller.

Includes a map and photographs of the real Catherine and her wartime experiences, as well as an interview with author Julia Billet.

"Many of the settings are beautifully detailed, and the characters undeniably expressive. Catherine's ability to find beauty in the world makes for a forward-looking read." --Booklist *(starred review)*

"This story will make readers want to join the Resistance. Characters are drawn so vividly that, long afterward, readers will remember their names." --Kirkus

Inventive, rotating and spacious!
This is a really clever design for a jewelry box. I love how it rotates so that you can access many parts of it easily. I like the top that you can put your most worn necklaces or bracelets in. The mirror compartment that comes out is pretty clever and useful. There is a part that comes out that holds rings and bracelets and then another compartment that comes out that holds necklaces on both sides. Then of course there's one of the sides of the rotating box that has a place for your earrings and even a place that you can drop other pieces in the bottom of that side. There's so many things to love about this rotating jewelry box. My favorite has to be what I call the favorites compartment. It's the part that you pull down a glass window and it has a place for everything. You can put four necklaces several Rings several earrings right in that one spot. I'm definitely going to be using that part the most. I'm really happy with it! It's really great for meeting personal jewelry storage needs or as a gift. It's unlike any jewelry box I've ever seen. It's a good price for what you get as well.

This Rotating Jewelry Box Is a Game-Changer for Organizing Your Collection
This jewelry box is a total winner for anyone who loves to keep their accessories beautifully displayed yet perfectly organized. The design is elegant and modern, with a clean cream finish, gold-tone handle, and a clear panel that gives it a sophisticated, boutique-style look. It’s thoughtfully structured with specific compartments for everything — earrings, necklaces, rings, watches, and even a top tray that’s ideal for everyday pieces you reach for the most. The built-in mirror adds a functional touch, making it easy to put on jewelry without having to move to another room. But the real showstopper? The entire box rotates smoothly, giving you 360° access to your collection — stylish and practical. This piece doesn’t just store jewelry; it elevates your space. Perfect for anyone who wants a beautiful and functional way to organize their treasures without clutter.

Easy access from the wonderful design
I love this jewelry box!!! It holds sooo much and everything is easy and convenient to access with the spinning design! Functioning: The designated hooks for necklaces keep them from getting tangled. The slide out drawers are easy to pull and I love that it has space specifically for bracelets or watches! I am thrilled with the holes to keep earrings together and pairs easy to grab, dangling or hoops work well on in the side area. All that is awesome , but pair it with the tray design on top to catch the jewelry I would otherwise toss on the dresser in a hurry and it's just a fabulous design. The leather exterior is beautiful. I wasn't sure about it not being wood, but the quality is fantastic and I'm so happy I took the chance and got it!!! Well worth the price and would make a great gift!

Perfect!! I’m obsessed!
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Beige
So cute and great for travel! Lots of organization areas, easy to use, very durable and not made cheap, the zipper closes just fine and it’s compact for traveling or storing under the sink.
