Summary and Plot

So far in the book Karina has found out that there are hidden jews behind a wall in the house. She wants to turn her parents in and she writes in her black notebook that her parents were the enemy. But her mom yells at her and Karina doesn't tell on her parents. Since she also missed 3 meetings of the youth Nazi group the leader smacks her.

As the story gets closer and closer to the climax Karina grows a bigger and bigger bond with Rachael. I think that a break through was when Karina went behind the wall to play with Rachael. There was a surprising part in that same chapter because when Karina and Rachel were talking and Karina told her something and Karina said

"Of course why would I lie to you" and the part that surprised me was when Rachael said

"Because you don't like jews." It surprised me because this makes me think that she had lost her innocence at such an early age.
