- SynopsisThe twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan's acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. "The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what's said and in what is left out."--ALA Booklist (starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan's unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler's rise to power, the Blumenthal family--father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert--were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults' Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors.

Four Perfect Pebbles
A very easy read. Once you start it you won't want to put it down. I bought it after seeing the author and her life story on Public Television. First I purchased the program, and after watching it again decided to try on eBay for the book. It was so much cheaper than buying it from the TV station, I had it within 5 days from purchase, and it was brand new.

Great book ad easy to read.
Very good book. It is a very easy read and a hard book to put down. Three people in the family have read the book since I got it. There was an article in a local newspaper about the author and family and what they endured, when I read the article I knew I wanted to read the book.
