This powerful Cold War novel tells the story of two cousins, one
German and the other an American Army brat, as they navigate the
political and social turmoil that threatens their friendship and
ends in the abrupt rise of the Berlin Wall-which may separate them
forever. Drew is an army brat in West Berlin, where soldiers like
his dad hold an outpost of democracy against communist Russia.
Drew's cousin Matthias, an East Berliner, has grown up in the
wreckage of Allied war bombing, on streets ruled by the secret
police. From enemy sides of this Cold War standoff, the boys become
wary friends, arguing over the space race, politics, even civil
rights, but bonding over music. If informants catch Matthias with
rock 'n' roll records or books Drew has given him, he could be sent
to a work camp. If Drew gets too close to an East Berliner, others
on the army post may question his family's loyalty. As the
political conflict around them grows dire, Drew and Matthias are
tested in ways that will change their lives forever. Set in the
tumultuous year leading up to the surprise overnight raising of the
Berlin Wall in August 1961, and illustrated with dozens of
real-life photographs of the time, Walls brings to vivid life a
heroic and tragic episode of the Cold War.
