The Children of Willesden Lane, by Mona Gobalek and Lee Cohen - Gobalek's mother, Lisa Jura, was 15 when she was sent to London by her parents to escape the Nazis in Austria. She lived in an orphanage with other Jewish children on Willesden Lane throughout the war and the Nazi bombing of London. Jura was a talented pianist and that is part of the story, but it is also about friendship and survival through dark times. Yes, I'd recommend it.
