Kathy Kacer's second book in her middle grade series about heroic
rescues during WWII tells the tale of siblings Helen and Henry, and
history's most famous mime. Desperate to save them from the Nazis,
Henry and Helen's mother makes the harrowing decision to take her
children from their home in 1940s Germany and leave them in the
care of strangers in France. The brother and sister must hide their
Jewish identity to pass for orphans being fostered at a convent in
the foreign land. Visits from a local mime become the children's
one source of joy, especially for Henry, whose traumatic experience
has left him a selective mute. When an informer gives them up, the
children are forced to flee yet again from the Nazis, but this time
the local mime-a not yet famous Marcel Marceau-risks everything to
try to save the children. Masters of Silence shows award-winning
author Kathy Kacer at the top of her craft, bringing to light the
little-known story of Marceau's heroic work for the French
Resistance. Marceau would go on to save hundreds of children from
Nazi concentration camps and death during WWII. In characteristic
Kacer style, Masters of Silence is dramatic and engaging, and
highlights the courage of both those rescuing and the rescued
themselves. Wenting Li's chapter heading illustrations and
evocative covers provide the perfect visuals for the series.
