Jennifer A. Nielsen, award-winning author of A Night Divided and
Rescue, artfully weaves together the stories of five kids living
through World War I, each of whom holds the key to the others'
futures ... if they are lucky - and brave - enough to find each
other. World War I stretches its cruel fingers across Europe, where
five young people, each from different backgrounds and nations,
face the terror of battle, the deprivations of hunger, and all the
awful challenges of war. Felix, from Austria-Hungary, longs for the
bravery to resist Jewish deportations before his own family can be
taken. Kara, from Britain, dreams of someday earning her Red Cross
pin and working as a nurse - or even a doctor. Juliette, of France,
hopes her family can remain knitted together, despite her father's
imprisonment, as the war's longest battle stretches on and on.
Elsa, from Germany, hopes her homing pigeon might one day bring her
a friend from out of the chaos. And Dimitri, of Russia, wants only
to survive the front, where he's been sent with no weapon. None of
them will find exactly what they want. But the winds of fate may
cross their paths to give each of them just what they need. And in
this remarkable exploration of World War I by critically acclaimed
author Jennifer A. Nielsen, they will discover that friendship and
courage can light the way through the most frightening of nights.
