    My report is about the novel "Burying the Sun‚" by Gloria Whelan. The title of the book may illustrate how war can destroy a kid’s heart‚ the same way that burying the sun would darken and eventually destroy the earth.  It also gets dark and cold in Siberia‚ as if one ’buried’ the sun.  In my opinion‚ this is a great historical fiction on World War II.
