  In this award-winning memoir translated from Italian to English, a Jewish girl grows up during a difficult time of racial discrimination and war, and discovers light in unexpected places. This classic, powerful story from Lia Levi is adapted for young readers, with a powerful author’s note to readers.  
  1938, Italy. Six-year-old Lia loves to build sandcastles at the beach and her biggest problem is her shyness and quiet, birdlike voice—until prime minister Mussolini joins forces with Hitler in World War II, and everything changes. 
  Now there are laws saying Jewish children can’t go to school, Jews can’t work, or go on vacation. It’s difficult for Lia to understand why this is happening to her family. When her father loses his job, they must give up their home and move from city to city. 
  As war comes closer, it becomes too dangerous to stay together, and Lia and her sisters are sent to hide at a convent. Will she ever be “just a girl” again? 
  The memoir is full of poignant moments of friendship and loss, dreaded tests at school, told in Lia's captivating voice, as she grows into a young teen. Just a Girl is an important addition to the WWII Jewish canon.

  Words matter. They have the capacity to capture a special moment, elevate people’s opinion of you, or resonate with an audience with a beautiful turn of phrase. 
  Used incorrectly, though, words - and specifically a limited vocabulary - cripple our ability to describe our experiences and articulate our thoughts and values. 
  The aim of this book is to not only enrich your vocabulary and way of speaking, but to also bring other people’s words to life. The book is appropriate for first and non-native English speakers. Whether you are preparing for an SAT exam, or you want to speak more eloquently at your next meeting or interview, this is the book for you!
