Reviews

"An absorbing story rich with historical detail and human dynamics. . . . An important addition to young readers' understanding of twentieth-century history." --"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"

"Nail-biting suspense is maintained to the end. . . . Excellent historical fiction about a timely yet sadly universal subject." --"School Library Journal"

"Readers will feel [Sabine's] inner conflict sharply, admire her resilience and quick thinking - and come away shocked themselves by the brutality she encounters during this little-known historical episode." --"Kirkus Reviews"
