Why read it?

1 author picked Run Like Jager as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This novel is about Kurt, a Canadian boy who wonders what his German grandfather did during WWII while drafted into the Wehrmacht. When Kurt goes to Germany to do some research, he finds out more than he would have liked.
