Book of the week: The Assignment by Liza Wiemer
The Assignment is a book that explores topics like antisemitism and discrimination. Based on a real event, the book is about an assignment given to a class. Only a few students believe that the assignment given is wrong, and try to prove it. Things get out of hand as racism spreads throughout the school. This is a great book because it gives new insights towards topics not often talked about.

Hi Laci,
This is Liza Wiemer, author of THE ASSIGNMENT! I saw your review online and wanted to reach out and say thank you for reading and reviewing the novel. Most of all, thank you for highlighting how important it is to talk about this topic. Hatred, bigotry and injustice will continue if people remain bystanders. It takes courage to be an upstander and an ally. Your thoughtful words are an inspiration.
