This book looked very interesting as someone who loves reading about women trailblazers. I loved the text-to-image ratio and think it would be great for many readers just getting into chapter books. This book was so educational, with little blurbs about important components of the story like Yiddish and pogroms. This book was really great and balanced between being educational and entertaining.
Overall I think this is a great book to introduce children to nonfiction and longer books.

This was absolutely delightful. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. The illustrations were charming. I highly recommend this fun and quick read! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

Nothing Could Stop Her by Rona Arato
Read On: 1/2/2023

As someone who loves reading books about historical figures and events, this book jumped out at me. Ruth Gruber was and will always be a true inspiration for anyone with a dream, but especially for young women and girls. Ruth had a dream of being a writer and she followed through with it well into her 90s. During her career, she ended up telling the stories of people from some of the most dangerous places around the world. The book was well written and really helped capture the events Ruth went through to become a great journalist and humanitarian. The story in this book ends with Ruth and the refugees she helped bring to America from Europe during WWII, but she covered so many more stories about Jewish people and refugees from other parts of the world. I will definitely be reading some of Ruth's books after reading this book. I would also like to mention that the illustrations in this book were pleasant and well done. Thank you NetGalley, Rona Arato, and Kar-Ben Publishing for allowing me to read this advanced copy of Nothing Could Stop Her. Overall, it was a great book about an amazing woman who worked hard to tell the stories of others and make sure their voices were heard.

This book is fantastic!! It's a great biography about a woman who paved the way for many beyond her. It gives you a glimpse into what women had to do to be taken seriously and her role in the transport of the first group of refugees during WWII. Ruth Gruber is not mentioned in many readings but her work is immensely important and I can't recommend this book enough! It will definitely make its way to my classroom library!

At the time students are coming into the middle school, a lot of them have entered into a total obsession with learning everything they can about World War II and the Holocaust. This biography will be a fantastic addition to help feed this obsession. The story is wonderfully written. It's structured in an engaging way that reads more like a story than a list of facts and timeline. Little tidbits help to provide context to the situation to understand the severity of the situation as a jewish girl.
I am very excited to add this to the circulation of the middle school library. It is sure to be a well loved copy come the end of the year.

This book was much longer than I thought it would be. There were illustrations and sidebars with additional information. I think it would be hard for kids to get engaged in this book unless they are already interested in it.

Ruth Gruber is a remarkable figure, who everyone should read about.
This book has lots of great information along with the story of Ruth and her life and the differences she made.

A really lovely book!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

Wonderful new biography of Ruth Gruber, a Jewish American writer and journalist. Deeply disturbed by the plight of Jews in Germany, she did her utmost to inform the American public of the atrocities being committed in Europe and solicit assistance for Jews trying to flee the Nazi regime. A fascinating look at her life made accessible to younger ones. Beautiful illustrations bring the story to life. Highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is an easy-to-read account of Ruth Gruber's experiences as a journalist, photographer, and humanitarian. The pictures, illustrations, and side notes help the young reader understand and engage in Ruth's story.
