The Cage

Now I am reading a book called The Cage. Its another book about the holocaust but unlike The Book Theif, this book is all about a jewish girl and her family. Its a really sad book, but I really like it. In the book the main character Riva is liveing with her mom and three younger brother. Her one brother Laibele becomes very sick and one day when the Nazi's come to take away men and sick people, Rivas mom hides Laibele so that he isn't taken, but then Riva's mother is taken away which makes Riva the guardian of her brothers. Then the Child Welfare Department comes and tries to separate Riva and her other three brothers so that they could be cared for, but Riva resists because the thing she wants most is for her family not to be split apart. Eventually, after Riva resists and protests enough the Child Welfare Department finally decides that because Riva cares so much for her family, they won't be split up. Instead Riva is able to adopt her brothers and become the legal guardian over them. Life became good for a while until one day Laibele dies. This is where i ended!! I can't wait to see what happens, I hope nothing else bad happens because Riva is such a good person and she has already gone through enough. But, i think that Riva and her two brothers will eventually be sent to a camp like Auschwitz.
