Lifeboat 12 by Susan Hood

Bluestem 2021 Book

Reading

I snort.
Most parents would be chuffed
to have a kid who loves to read. p4

I stand in a long queue
staring up at a war poster
of Nazis burning books.
The caption read,
"Book are Weapons in the War of Ideas."
I tuck my book under my arm.
No wonder the Nazis don't want people to have them.
For them, books are weapons.
For me, stories are lifesavers. p274
