Synopsis

An enemy is hiding in Anna's barn?a Russian prisoner of war on the run from the Nazis. Only Anna knows he's there. If she turns him in, he'll be shot.

Anna can't bring herself to cause another person's death?especially when she's questioning her own feelings about the Nazi regime. But if she hides him, she'll be a traitor to Germany, and for that, she could be shot.

Anna must evade discovery, knowing that even her own brother will turn her in if he finds out her secret. Can she save the soldier?and herself?

Review

"'Not a comfortable read, but richly rewarding, here's a story from Germany's foremost writer of books for young adults.'" (Anne Faundez Carousel)

"Absolutely terrific. The growing friendship with Anna and Maxim is beautifully written as is the tension between their world and the world outside their relationship... An outstanding book." (John Dunne)

"'Moving Second World War account of a young girl who finds an escaped Russian soldier and refuses to toe the Nazi line. A powerful insight into how the war affected the German and Czech population of the Sudetenland. . . Once you get into this book you can't put it down. It really makes you feel as if you are there.'" (Chloe Young (Broughton High) Teen Titles Book Review Magazine)

"An incredibly realistic and moving account of how one girl refuses to accept Nazi ideology and has the courage of her own convictions" (Lydia Strong East End Life)

"An incredibly moving book which will draw readers into Anna's agaonised decision making, and provoke much discussion contributory to PSHE, considering instinct versus ideology, religion and WWII history at Key Stage 3 and above." (www.writeaway.org.uk)
