Greater Than Angels was a great book. It was about a girl, Anna, who lived with her Aunt Mina, her mother, and her grandmother, until the Germans deport them to a camp, Gurs, in France. Although France is a free country, the South tries to impress the Germans by locking up the Jews. Anna, her best friend Klara, Klara's brother Rudi, and Peter, a boy from the camp are rescued from the camp by the Swiss Red Cross and taken to a small village in Southern France. Rudi gets into the resistance to rescue the "illegal" Jews by making fake papers. He rescues Anna, Klara and Peter by making them fake papers to get them into Switzerland, but this all fails when the guards say it is illegal to get anywhere past the border. They were taken to the small village again after being rescued from a camp similar to Gurs. Rudi and Anna are developing a romance through all of this, but he sends them to Switzerland again, even though the border was closed. They do get help along the way, and they do get across, but WHAT HAPPENS TO RUDI??? That is the only problem, they don't tell you at the end. Even without the information of the whereabouts of Rudi, it was a wonderful book. I think at the end the author should have gone back and told what happened to Rudi. Did he die, get caught by the Germans? What happened?
