The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic Worldby E. L. Konigsburg
Reading level: grades 6 and up
There are four individual stories evolving at once, in four separate places. Amadeo and William are the main characters who connect all the other players in the story. The plot centers around art that was confiscated by the Nazis when Holland was invaded in the late 1930s. The historical segments are very suspenseful, but some of the content is for mature readers. Students interested in the Holocaust will find this book informative and worth reading.
