Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Liz began The Irena Sendler Project, she was surprised to find that it had become a lot more than just a simple extra-curricular National History Day project. It had taken on a life of its own as The Irena Sendler Project. #2 When Liz was five, her mother left her behind to go stay with her boyfriend. She never returned. Her father was afraid of her, and he rarely visited. She was sent to many counselors and social workers who tried to help her understand her feelings. #3 Grandpa Bill had problems with his daughter, Liz. She was a difficult child who had issues in school. She couldn’t sit still, didn’t pay attention, and didn’t do anything she didn’t want to. She was often in fights. #4 Liz was assigned to Mr. Kayhart’s class again, which was difficult for her. She eventually transferred into Mr. Conard’s Creative Social Studies class, which was more to her liking. Mr. Conard’s class focused on projects that dealt with the civil rights struggle, the Depression, and issues of diversity and tolerance.
