Summary
On top of battling the normal teenage angst that everyone goes through, Joanie is also reeling from her parents' bitter divorce and having to cope with her mother's new boyfriend and father's new family. Alone in a new town and without friends, she turns to passing the time by indulging in her longtime hobby of making toy models of soldiers and is both amazed and shocked when one of them comes to life.
Despite her millions of unanswered questions and having to make sense of new mysteries every day, Joanie comes to find a loyal and trustworthy companion in Adler, a lieutenant in the Wehrmacht and a member of the German Resistance during World War II who must also find a way to handle living in modern times on top of being invisible to most of the population. The two of them will have to fight several battles on many fronts in both the physical world and unseen realms as they both try to comprehend Adler's new existence and piece Joanie's broken life back together.

I loved this story. It was cute and inspirational even for an older man. I love how everything came together in the end just like it began. Thank you

Jamila Mikhail's "Don't Let Me Go" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and resilience. From the very first page, Mikhail captures readers with her lyrical prose and deeply relatable characters. The narrative follows the life of its protagonist as she navigates the complexities of relationships and the emotional turmoil that comes with them. The storyline is rich with themes of hope and despair, making it a heart-wrenching yet beautifully crafted tale.
However, if you're faced with the choice between the original edition and the expanded version, I wholeheartedly recommend picking up the expanded edition. While the original is undoubtedly fabulous in its own right, the expanded version breathes new life into the narrative, offering deeper insight into the characters and their motivations. Mikhail has taken the opportunity to flesh out subplots and refine character dynamics, resulting in a more immersive experience.
The additional chapters in the expanded version not only enrich the storyline but also provide readers with a more profound understanding of the protagonist's journey. This expansion allows Mikhail to delve into the emotional nuances that the original version only hinted at. The pacing of the plot benefits greatly from the added content, making transitions smoother and character arcs more satisfying.
Moreover, the expanded edition includes new character perspectives that enhance the overall narrative depth, creating a multi-dimensional experience. This perspective shift enables readers to empathize with supporting characters in a way that the original version never fully achieved.
Mikhail's ability to engage readers with her evocative storytelling is on full display in both editions, but the expanded version solidifies her status as a masterful writer capable of crafting a compelling and immersive tale. If you want to experience the full emotional impact of "Don't Let Me Go," the expanded edition is the definitive choice.
In conclusion, while both versions of "Don't Let Me Go" offer an enthralling reading experience, the expanded edition stands out as the superior choice for those looking to fully appreciate Jamila Mikhail's talent and the profound messages woven throughout her work. Don't miss out on the chance to delve deeper into this unforgettable story.
