Author Description

Both meticulously researched and vividly imagined, The Children's War re-creates the landscape of World War II in a new and utterly unforgettable way. Interweaving the stories of Ilse, a half-Jewish girl sent out of Germany by her mother for safety, and Nicolai, a German boy struggling with his place in the Hitler Youth, it is a gripping tale of adventure, loyalty, love and betrayal; of disappointment and hope; of parents and children trying to protect one another; and of self-discovery.Available only in Core 6 & 7.
