Has anyone ever read Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli?

I went to the bookstore the other day and didnt know what I wanted to read. I saw alot of good books but then I had picked up this one. At first the back description was weird but it was also interesting. I brought it and finished it with in a couple of days. Its a fiction story of a boy who lives in the ghetto of Warsaw on the streets. Truely remarkable book.

Back Describtion:

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 angles. 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 to ghetto of the damned, he's a boy who realizes it's safest of all to be nobody.
