As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Anna and the Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit
I'm not sure about this one. It's written beautifully but there are some dangerous moments when Anna is forced to do some things naked that little girls shouldn't do. I think I would skip it as a choice for the library but it is perfect for public libraries. The story is for mature readers. It's a hard read. Keep in mind it's when there are both German and Soviet soldiers and the two main characters have to survive to live.
