On
a cold, dark night in Warsaw in 1942, the Balicki children watch in
horror as Nazi Storm Troopers arrest their mother. Now they are lone.
With the war raging around them, food and shelter are hard to come
by. They live in constant fear.
Finally, they get word that their father is alive. He has made it to Switzerland. Edek and Ruth are determined to find him, though they know how dangerous the long trip from Warsaw will be. But they also know that if they don't make it, they may never see their parents again.

I thoroughly enjoyed
this thrilling journey across Europe to seek out their parents and
find refuge. It is always difficult to resist a plot that involves
parentless children clinging to each other's love and making a
terrifying but exciting journey where friends, strangers and the
Nazis lie in their path.
