The Teacher of Nomad Land: A World War II Story by Daniel Nayeri is a novel I would highly recommend. Set in Iran during World War II, it is about Babak and his little sister who want to stay together after the death of their parents. I enjoyed this story because of the author's skill in telling a story, but also because it is a perspective of World War II that I never read about. Though it is considered a juvenile novel, most adults would appreciate the story as well.
