Another stellar historical novel from three (3)-time National Book Award finalist and Newbery Honor author Steve Sheinkin. This is the story of two (2) Jewish teens trying to survive in the horrific world of WWII. One teen is hiding in Hungary while the other is plotting to escape Auschwitz. 

 

 There are a handful of maps expertly placed through this book to help orient readers as to where the events are taking place. There are also ample source notes and bibliographies to help readers learn about sources and continue their research.  

 

A poignantly powerful story of survival, heartbreak, and heroism during the atrocities of WWII, Steve Sheinkin has once again created a narrative nonfiction that will draw in tween and teen readers and encourage them to learn more about the lesser told stories of history.
