What reading level is Letters From Rifka book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
—Pushkin September 14, 1920 Antwerp, Belgium Dear Tovah, I am going to America! The nun, Sister Katrina, says my ringworm is completely cured, and the doctor signed my papers. “Godspeed,” he said. “Go ahead.”
At last I am free to go to America, to join Mama and Papa and all my giant brothers. It has been an entire year since leaving Berdichev. Such a year!
My hair still has not started growing. Sister Katrina says perhaps it never will. I can’t imagine going through life with no hair on ...my head. There are wigs, perukes, but a short, ugly peruke on my head? What a thought!
My hair was the only nice thing about me. Still, I am trying to remember your advice, Tovah, to rely on my wits and not my looks. I don’t look so bad in a hat or with my kerchief, not really, once you get used to it. I hope Mama can get used to it. As for my being clever … even with what Sister Katrina and the lady from the HIAS say about me and languages, I’m still not so sure.
The lady from the HIAS helped me to buy my ticket.

I loved how this story was presented. Karen has a unique stay of writing that I so enjoyed. I also read Salt to Sea. The historical storyline and characters would not let me put it either of these books down.Write Review:
