Readers who enjoy Torn Thread will also be interested in exploring some of the many fine Holocaust novels and memoirs written for young adults in recent years. For example, the novels of Carol Matas, including Greater than Angels, In My Enemy's House, After the War, and Daniel's Story, tell realistic stories of the challenges faced by teenagers during this period. Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen and Anne Frank and Me by Cherie Bennett use time switch fantasies to make the Holocaust real for contemporary readers by placing characters from the present in the middle of this horrific past. No Pretty Pictures by Anita Lobel, Thanks to My Mother by Schoschana Rabinovici, and Four Perfect Pebbles by Lila Pearl and Marion Blumenthal Lazan are the memoirs of survivors written specifically for a young adult audience.
