Night of the Cossack Review
Posted by Orilla on 26th May and posted in Reviews
Want an awesome book to read and a switch away from the regular school work? Do you know what a Cossack is? This is a wonderful book that will take you back to the days of Hitler and how a family faced those terrible days. Tom Blubaugh does a wonderful job with the story and is able to keep your attention and your heart in your throat. Tom’s family was from Russia and even though the story isn’t true, he writes it from what his family could have faced during those terrible times had they not come to America. His grandfather was a Russian Cossack at one time.
The book is broken up into 10 days worth of reading, math, science, and social studies with an extra question. I love that he brings out questions to make the story more real and that the child reading it learns about more while fulfilling the different subjects required.
Take some time off from school and do something totally different. You can even read this book together as a family and make it a family project.
