In Anna Olswanger's middle-grade novel Greenhorn, a young Holocaust
survivor arrives in 1946 at a New York yeshiva where he will study
and live. His only possession is a small box that he never lets out
of his sight. Daniel, the young survivor, rarely talks, but the
narrator, a stutterer who bears the taunts of the other boys, comes
to consider Daniel his friend.
The mystery of what's in the box propels this short work, but
it's in the complex relationships among the schoolboys that the
human story is revealed. In the end, Aaron, the stutterer, finds
his voice and a friend in Daniel, and their bond offers hope for a
future life of dreams realized, one in which Daniel is able to let
go of his box.
Greenhorn is a powerful story, perfect for families to read
together, that gives human dimension to the Holocaust. It
poignantly underscores our flawed humanity and speaks to the
healing value of friendship.
