From international bestselling author Mario Escobar comes a story
of escape, sacrifice, and hope amid the perils of the Second World
War. August 1942. Jacob and Moses Stein, two young Jewish brothers,
are staying with their aunt in Paris amid the Nazi occupation. The
boys' parents, well-known German playwrights, have left the
brothers in their aunt's care until they can find safe harbor for
their family. But before the Steins can reunite, a great and
terrifying roundup occurs. The French gendarmes, under Nazi order,
arrest the boys and take them to the Velodrome d'Hiver-a massive,
bleak structure in Paris where thousands of France's Jews are being
forcibly detained. Jacob and Moses know they must flee in order to
survive, but they only have a set of letters sent from the South of
France to guide them to their parents. Danger lurks around every
corner as the boys, with nothing but each other, trek across the
occupied country. Along their remarkable journey, they meet
strangers and brave souls who put themselves at risk to protect the
children-some of whom pay the ultimate price for helping these
young refugees of war. This inspiring novel, now available for the
first time in English, demonstrates the power of family and the
endurance of the human spirit-even through the darkest moments of
human history. World War II historical fiction inspired by true
events Book length: 94,000 words Includes discussion questions for
reading groups, a historical timeline, and notes from the author "A
poignant telling of the tragedies of war and the sacrificing
kindness of others seen through the innocent eyes of children."
