Guest Book Review: Kaylieh reviews Playing for the Commandant

Playing for the Commandant by Suzy Zail  is a thrilling book full of exhilarating moments. This is a book about Hanna, a Jew living with her sister, mother, and father. She loves playing piano. Until one day the Nazis come and take her family  to a camp where she is then separated from her father. Her mother is detached from the situation around them leaving only her and her sister to protect each other. They stay in the camp in horrible conditions until one day, the commandant is looking for Jews to play the piano. Hanna gets chosen and starts to play for the commandant but once the commandant's son, Karl walks in, she instantly picks up on his looks and slowly starts to fall in love with Karl. I loved reading this story and even had a hard time putting it down. This is a great book and one of the best books I've read. I would give this book a five out of five rating. It’s a great book to read in your free time, and It will make you want to come back for more. - Kaylieh
