Critic reviews

“Peters tells Anna’s story of escape with great humanity, and this novel is an excellent way to whet young appetites for classics such as When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr and Carrie’s War by Nina Bawden.” (Alex O’Connell, The Times, Children’s Book of the Week)

“A fast-paced adventure, whose elegant prose and cliffhanger chapters should keep even less confident readers gripped to the thrilling end.” (Emily Bearn, The Telegraph)

“A gripping, moving piece of historical fiction.” (Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian)

Very brave girl!!!

Excellent narrator!!!
this story makes you think, how to live well when there is no war, when your loved ones are nearby and you know that everything is fine with them.
