And don't miss the author's highly anticipated new novel, Dead Wednesday ! He's a boy called Jew. Gypsy. Stopthief. Filthy son of Abraham. He's a boy who lives in the streets of Warsaw. He's a boy who steals food for himself, and the other orphans. He's a boy who believes in bread, and mothers, and angels. He's a boy who wants to be a Nazi, with tall, shiny jackboots of his own-until the day that suddenly makes him change his mind. And when the trains come to empty the Jews from the ghetto of the damned, he's a boy who realizes it's safest of all to be nobody. Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli takes us to one of the most devastating settings imaginable-Nazi-occupied Warsaw during World War II-and tells a tale of heartbreak, hope, and survival through the bright eyes of a young Holocaust orphan. Review: Buy this book & read it with your older children! - Milkweed is the best book I've ever read that deals with the Nazis, Hitler, the concentration camps, the fear and the reality of torture and death to the Jews during this reign of terror. It is written so any older child can understand it, and yet it captured my attention from beginning to end. I couldn't put it down. My 12 year old, who IS NOT a history buff and doesn't even like to read, never has trouble remembering the Jackboots, the children stealing food to keep from starving, and the trains pulling away while loved ones held their arms out to each other for the last time. MILKWEED is a totally accurate portrayal of the horrors the Jewish people lived and died in under Hitler's rule, yet it is presented in a fictional way that children can understand. Don't miss this one. Thanks desertcart for putting Milkweed out there for all to read. Review: Great Read! - Excellent book by first rate writer, Jerry Spinelli. My grandson recommended the book to me, a treat in itself. The story is told through a young teen aged Jewish orphaned boy living on the streets in WWII torn Europe. The story is heart-wrenching, yet sometimes humorous and a must read! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #39,424 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Orphans & Foster Homes (Books) #12 in Teen & Young Adult Holocaust Historical Fiction #40 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Prejudice & Racism | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,484 Reviews | ## Images ![Milkweed (Random House Reader's Circle) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FCJnCa-mL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this book & read it with your older children! *by H***E on December 30, 2012* Milkweed is the best book I've ever read that deals with the Nazis, Hitler, the concentration camps, the fear and the reality of torture and death to the Jews during this reign of terror.

I often felt sorry for the main character, but he was hard to understand in that he did not understand a lot. He was strong in that he took care of himself the best that he could. It was a horrible time he lived through, and he was definitely a survivor! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/8237386-milkweed-random-house-readers-circle](https://www.desertcart.it/products/8237386-milkweed-random-house-readers-circle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
