                      "When you're nothing, you're free to believe in anything.." Milkweed, by Jerry Spinelli, is about a boy who lives on the streets of Warsaw. He is a boy who believes in mothers, angels, and bread. He also wants to be a Nazi some day, until the day he suddenly changes his mind. When the trains came to empty the Jews from the Ghetto, the abused ones, the boy realizes it’s safest to be nobody. Misha is brave and smart throughout the story. I would like to see the role of Misha go to George Clooney.
