Interpretation Supposing Books I Am David
David's entire twelve-year life has been spent in a grisly prison camp in Eastern Europe. He knows nothing of the outside world. But when he is given the chance to escape, he seizes it. With his vengeful enemies hot on his heels, David struggles to cope in this strange new world, where his only resources are a compass, a few crusts of bread, his two aching feet, and some vague advice to seek refuge in Denmark. Is that enough to survive? David's extraordinary odyssey is dramatically chronicled in Anne Holm's classic about the meaning of freedom and the power of hope.Rating Containing Books I Am David

This was one of Heidi's books recommended for teen book club....I loved it and will consider it.Reread for teen club this Thursday, 9/27/12....very good!!!!! Should be great for our discussion....Loved this movie and so when I found out it was based off of a book I had to read it. Come to find out the book is a young adults novel so it was a really easy read, but that doesn't mean it's not filled with emotion and important situations. When it comes to whether I like the book better or the movie I think it's about 50/50. I liked the fact that in the book you know everything that David is thinking because it's narrated by him, you really find out how he feels about things and why he is the
This book was written over 50 years ago by an author who felt like kids needs literature that made them think and this was a good book for this purpose. Even though he's escaped from a concentration camp it's definitely a book you could read with kids.
Finally! A superb book landed in my hands!! I was completely mesmerized and utterly clinging to the story's journey, especially on the last 10 pages. I tell ya, David would be a great poster boy for integrity. I loved his character development. Too good to be true as he may be, the walk of his life was a message of love, life, and prospect. Brilliant! I agree with The Horn Book, "Read it, read it!". Be warned though, brace your heart. My quote-ables:"I don't know anything! How can I stay free
David, a 12 year old, raised in a prison camp, is allowed to escape with instructions to go north to freedom. From the drab, depressing surroundings of the prison camp to the wide world of freedoms, colors, smells, scenery, being clean, and being honest, David cautiously learns about the world around him. This book is a learning adventure at becoming true to one's self. At an early age, this book had a profound effect on my life, David made me stop and appreciate the little things that are such
The book I read was actually entitled, "North to Freedom" with a copyright date of 1963, but it was the same book. I enjoyed this book very much. It is not an action story; it is a psychological story; don't look for plot. This is all about character.Because David grew up in a concentration camp, he knew little socially or culturally of the outside world, but because of conditions in the camp, he had had the opportunity to learn several different languages and had been taught manners and a
