Beginning with Ella, the main character, running to to be first in line for a job; nothing prepares the reader for what is to come.

This is no ordinary job, Ella is a resident of Birkenhead (commonly known, to the world, as Auschwitz). 'The Red Ribbon' follows four main characters' quest for survival at a time when their world is crumbling around them.

The lives of Ella and her 'not quite' friends entwine, like the red ribbon running through the book, from cover to cover, giving a real incite into the the horrors that were endured during the fight for survival.

Written in a way that both holds the reader's attention from beginning to end, this is a book that is difficult to put down; one is never quite sure...
