Article is new and long enough, properly referenced, and QPQ is done. However, I'm not sure what's entirely interesting about a YA novel about the Holocaust (or the fact that it's been adapted to other media, as many other books have). The "History" section doesn't really enlighten the reader either and seems to lift much of its content from the lede. KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 19:50, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. My style of writing is to tell you what the article is about in the lead, then I expound on that information within the body with references. Regarding the content, I think I have said all that can be said. For an alternative ALT, I will provide an alternate. Keeping in mind C6 that the hook has to involve the real world. I also welcome suggestions.
