Book Club Review

You Dont Know What War Is

By Yeva Skalietska

About the book:

This diary is written by 12 year old Ukrainian girl, Yeva and she explains how she survived the Ukrainian and Russian War. She tells us her journey about escaping Ukraine and going to a safer country. One of the reasons I liked this book is because she posts some “real” pictures of things that were damaged and affected in her home country. Another reason is that it lets the readers understand the real world and how peace is not always guaranteed.
