A Sydney Taylor Book Award 2023 Middle Grade Notable! A Jewish Book
Council Award Middle Grade Finalist! The moving true story of how
young Ukrainian Jewish piano prodigies Zhanna (alias “Annaâ€)
and her sister Frina outplayed their pursuers while hiding in plain
sight during the Holocaust. A middle grade nonfiction
novel-in-verse by award-winning author Susan Hood with Greg Dawson
(Zhanna’s son). She wouldn’t be Zhanna. She’d use an alias. A
for Anna. A for alive. When the Germans invade Ukraine, Zhanna, a
young Jewish girl, must leave behind her friends, her freedom, and
her promising musical future at the world’s top conservatory.
With no time to say goodbye, Zhanna, her sister Frina, and their
entire family are removed from their home by the Nazis and forced
on a long, cold, death march. When a guard turns a blind eye,
Zhanna flees with nothing more than her musical talent, her beloved
sheet music, and her father’s final plea: “I don’t care what
you do. Just live.â€Â This incredible true story in-verse
about sisterhood, survival, and music is perfect for fans of
Lifeboat 12, Inside Out and Back Again, and Alan Gratz. Includes
extensive back matter with original letters and photographs,
additional information, and materials for further reading. A NERDY
