Description

Based on a true story, and from the co-author of Rescuers, the courageous and vividly told story of one boy and the courageous family who risks everything to save him.

Once Jacob Gutgeld lived with his family in a beautiful house in Warsaw, Poland. He went to school and played hide-and-seek in the woods with his friends. But everything changed the day the Nazi soldiers invaded in 1939. Suddenly it wasn’t safe to be Jewish anymore.”Filled with small but telling moments.” —Publishers Weekly

“Characters are well developed and multidimensional, and the story is a poignant one. While it might be difficult for today’s readers to understand the kind of heroism and goodness demonstrated by the Roslan family, who risked their lives every day to protect children who were not even related to them, they will become immersed in another time and place.” —School Library Journal Malka Drucker is the author of 21 books, including the award-winning works Frida Kahlo, Rescuers: Portraits of Moral Courage in the HolocaustGrandma’s Latkes, and White Fire: A Portrait of Women Spiritual Leaders in AmericaWhite Fire won the 2005 PEN Southwest Book Award for Nonfiction.
