I really liked the book Twenty and Ten, because it taught me more about World War Two, and what the children in the book were going through, during the occupation of France. Also in the book, when the French children were going to hide ten Jewish children, I just immediately felt the fear for them. I will recommend this book to other readers so that they can learn about World War Two, just as I have. My favorite character in the book was Sister Gabriel, because she was always running in places. She was always happy, although she was young, and was very frightened by the Nazis. She said that she had to go to a village, but then the Nazis captured her. I really did enjoy Twenty and Ten.
