Centered in WW2 Germany, Karl Stern, a young jew is constantly harassed by nazis and his classmate bullies. When his father makes a famous boxer a deal for some paintings in his gallery, Karl get the chance to be mentored by a world famous boxer. The story follows his rise in Karl's personal boxing career, the progress of his romantic interests and the struggles of his family. I personally connect with this story because of the fact that Karl is a young jewish kid like myself, however the story is very well written and not confusing at all. The reader will learn about treatment of the jewish people during WW2, as well as the personal connection to Karl and his family. I felt like I was there training with him, inspired a stronger person. Overall, great book.
