brand-new State of Israel Sara, a Jewish 12-year-old in 1919
Russia, has spunk, independence, and a deep commitment to her
heritage. Suddenly orphaned under mysterious circumstances, her
home and shtetl destroyed, Sara begins a daring journey toward
Budapest and her eventual destination, Palestine. On this amazing
odyssey, Sara meets fascinating people of all sorts. She makes new
friends from different backgrounds, finds loving relatives, and
faces up to tough enemies. Set against a backdrop of stormy
historical events?pogroms, the influenza epidemic, the Bolshevik
Revolution, and the struggle to create the State of Israel?this
riveting young-adult novel is told with warmth, grace, and
subtlety. Engaging from the very beginning, the story has many
creative, credible twists and turns, leading to an uplifting
ending. And with its perfect balance of adventure and emotion, it

their lives. Through the heart and mind of Sara, young readers will

cultures, religions, and nationalities. As they follow this tale of
a brave and imaginative girl, whose uncertainties mature into
determination and a life based on sturdy values, they will discover
that although she sometimes misjudges people and makes mistakes,
she learns well. Sara grows into a true follower of her father's
wise advice: ?Be bold and brave, but not foolhardy.?
