Bookroo's summary
Hannah dreads her family's holiday gatherings, where the past dominates every conversation. But this Passover, she's thrust back in time, into a world where only she knows the impending horrors. As she navigates this perilous past, can she change the course of history or is she doomed to witness the inevitable? The stakes are high, and Hannah's courage will be tested in ways she never imagined. Will she find a way back, or is she destined to remain a silent observer of history's darkest moments?
From the publisher
30th Anniversary edition with a new introduction from the author Hannah is tired of holiday gatherings-all her family ever talks about is the past. In fact, it seems to her that’s what they do every Jewish holiday. But this year’s Passover Seder will be different-Hannah will be mysteriously transported into the past . . . and only she knows the unspeakable horrors that await. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award A triumphantly moving book. –Kirkus Reviews, starred review
