The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain by Peter Sis
2008 Sibert

An autobiographical picture book about the life of Peter Sis as he retells the story of his life as a child living in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War. The illustrations are a major part of the story. The dark colors give the reader a dramatic feel to what the author is feeling. The history and the youthful rebellions against authority will keep older teens interested in reading this story.
