Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman
This is a gripping historical fiction set in 1930's Germany. Told from the perspective of Adolf Hitler's niece, this is a different twist on a common topic - and brings Hitler to life in a whole new way. Gretchen adores her uncle, though as the book progresses, she begins to realize that all is not as it seems... When she meets Daniel Cohen, a young Jewish reporter, her world turns topsy turvy. The Nazis are on the verge of gaining power, she has been brought up to hate Jews, but Daniel connects with her in a way no one else has. She and Daniel join forces to solve a murder mystery that will uncover truths about her family...and about her Uncle Dolf. This book has well drawn characters, a great plot - I couldn't put it down!
