Guardian Angel (Paperback)

."..but for many, it will never be over..."

Red-haired, freckle-faced, green-eyed Markus worries about things that bother many middle-school boys: When will my body fill out? When will my voice lower? When will I grow body hair? He wants puberty to hurry up and do its job so he can hang with the cool kids. But when three of the A-listers ask him to work with them on their social studies Holocaust project, he sees his chance. He knows they want him on their team because of his ailing grandmother, who has a tattoo on her arm from her time in Auschwitz. When Markus asks her about her time in the camp, she violently refuses to discuss it. He's torn between his loyalty to her and the peer pressure at school. When a classmate announces that his project will prove that the Holocaust never happened, this devastates Markus, and he vows to disprove the student's claim. When a voice from the past accuses his grandmother of crimes during the war, Markus's world spirals out of control. Then a stranger who knew his grandmother in Auschwitz surfaces with shocking and mysterious secrets, and Markus has to come to an entirely new understanding of what the truth actually is.
