   I am David must be post-World War II, as Italy is in peace, and so is Germany/Austria. David escapes either from Iron Curtain Albania or Bulgaria. Jill replied: Thanks, Ken! Although I think the ambiguity about where David is/escapes from/to is deliberately ambiguous. Delzaan Sutaria said: WOW!!!!!The book is touching and full of emotion.

   Should a 9 year old read I Am David?

   • " I Am David " or "David in Denmark" or " North to freedom" is a very good book to read. I recomend that people read it but only 9 and up read it because I don't think the age under 9 should be reading a book like this because it is just a little bit much for them. If the age 9 and under are able to read it GREAT!!!!
