Description

It’s 1933 in Berlin. The Nazis have seized power, and for thirteen-year-old Amelie Mayer life is changing in ways she never could have imagined. Her new teacher is picking on Jewish students, her friends are starting to shun her for not joining their Aryan youth group and her father is getting remarried. As tensions mount at home and school, Amelie embarks on a perilous journey—with nothing less than her whole future at stake.
