"When Gretel Was Fifteen" by Nina Rhoades is a story about a German-American girl named Gretel Schiller coming of age during World War I, where she faces challenges related to her identity and friendships amidst rising anti-German feelings in America. The book starts with Gretel and her classmates at Miss Minton's school responding to the news of America joining the war, filled with fear and pride, as many have family ties involved. Gretel struggles internally with her German background and forms a connection with her German teacher, Fräulein Sieling, who deals with prejudice, setting the stage for the story's journey through loyalty, cultural clashes, and the search for belonging during a difficult time.
