Milkweed really got inside of you, made you feel , and when I was done with the book I was still left in aw. It is amazing how this book ended, the very last words were amazing, everything, amazing. One of my favorites.

the bestt book everrrrrrr[:

The book Milkweed; covers the theme of how friends and family help you out when you need it most.
The caracoter in this story Misha had a survival of the finish; he had the steal everything he needed: clothes, food, and anything he could get his hands on. He never had a family or at least that he knew of. He was a very fast runner, very small, and could fit throw the crowds of the Warsaw. He didn't know that much. He got picked up off the streets to live with Uri, who washed him up and took care of him. They all ended up in the Warsaw Ghetto.
He survived many cold nights, fights, shortage on food, and cruel treatment. I really like this book, because it showed passion.
Jerry made this book understandable for a 10 year old. He gave you a mystery of what was going on next. There are a lot of things that go unexplained.
Friends and family help you out with a lot, and are always there when you need them the most. I really loved this book.

Excelent story

A story about a young boy who is living through WWII trying to stay alive

Misha Pilsudski is the boys name he runs the streets of Warsaw with his friend Uri. Uri is an older boy who is trying to help Misha steal food and keep him out of trouble. Until Misha is taken to the ghetto along with the Milgram family. In the ghetto he smuggles food for his family to keep them from starving.

Misha tries his hardest to keep food on the table but as the war goes on supply of food becomes lower and he really doesn't understand why.

They survive through the ghetto but Nobody knows how much longer they will live.

Cool great inspiring

Very good read.

Very true. This book gives good insight into both times of poverty during WWII and modern day third-world countries.

This book is about the holoucaust and it is VERY sad. And dark. And creepy at times. But it is heartwarming and pleasureable, and thankfuly, a quick read. Everybody should experience the pain in this book

Inspiring and heartwarming

Continues to be My favorite book. Taught this book to my sixth graders for many years and year after year ended in tears. Ron Rifkin is an amazing narrator. Jerry Spinelli is the master young adult writer. I have read all his books.
