"Ágnes's story is one of perseverance, determination, and strength. Her life is an inspiration, proving that it is possible to overcome trials and extreme hardships even in the most difficult of times. This book will appeal to children who are interested in Jewish history or who need a reminder that their own goals are worth pursuing, no matter what." - Jewish Book Council
"This is a tale not only of survival, but also a level of determination that is remarkable indeed. " - Children's Literature
"The book neither shies away from nor overemphasizes these events and presents them matter-of-factly... a reasonably gentle introduction for younger [readers]. Ágnes's story may prove particularly resonant today, in the aftermath of October 7th." - Sydney Taylor Shmooze
"Sorrow and celebration are parallel threads in this uplifting biography. It introduces one of the darkest chapters in Jewish history in a child-appropriate way. Jewish readers may take pride in a champion who shares their heritage, but this story of perseverance and hope is inspirational for kids of all backgrounds and suitable for all libraries." – Association of Jewish Libraries
