Description:
In the midst of war, one teenager is determined to make a difference
If no one will do anything, she'll have to do it herself.
In 1941 France is still "free." But fifteen-year-old Magali is frustrated by the cruel irony of pretending life is normal when food is rationed, new clothes are a rarity, and most of her friends are refugees. And now the government is actually helping the Nazis. Someone has got to do something, but it seems like no one has the guts—until Paquerette arrives.
Smuggling refugee children is Paquerette's job. And she asks Magali to help.
Working with Paquerette is scary and exhausting, but Magali never doubts that it is the right thing to do. Until her brash actions put those she loves in danger.
My Review:
This is another one of those books that you read and you can't forget about it. So many people were affected by the Nazi's that no one will ever know. This book is different because it takes place in France and not Germany. I really liked Magali and how she wanted to help others at her age. She helped Paquerette as best as she could. Once the threat comes closer to her and her loved ones she has to decide what her conscience will let her do and not feel guilty. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from Kregel, however all opinions are my own.
