Title is misleading:
This text is supposed to be about the Great Depression except it is predominately about growing up Jewish in pre WWII, Toronto. The title is very misleading, as well as the synopsis on the back of the cover. It begins as a passive diary, but gets aggressively historic towards the end with no real transition. If you are expecting to read a diary about a twelve year old girl growing up during the depression, this would not be the book to choose. I was very disappointed. If you want to know about the Great Depression, this would not be a good fiction source. The author should consider changing the title of the book and the synopsis to better suit the text.
