Amazon placed Between Shades of Gray at number 5 in their list of their favourite books this year! They said:
“Based on first-hand family accounts and memories from survivors, Ruta Sepetys's first novel tells of the forcible relocation of countless Lithuanians when the Russians invaded their country in 1939. Fifteen-year-old Lena and her family are forced onto a crowded train car heading north to a work camp. Theirs is a long and harrowing journey that spans years and covers 6,500 miles, that requires incredible strength, love and hope to survive. Beautifully written and deeply felt, Between Shades of Gray is an important book for young readers that will capture your heart.”
