of Annika Thor, Linda Schenck (Translator)
Series: Faraway Island #1
Description
Torn from their homeland, two Jewish sisters find refuge in Sweden.It's the summer of 1939. Two Jewish sisters from Viennaâ12-year-old Stephie Steiner and 8-year-old Nellieâare sent to Sweden to escape the Nazis. They expect to stay there six months, until their parents can flee to Amsterdam; then all four will go to America. But as the world war intensifies, the girls remain, each with her own host family, on a rugged island off the western coast of Sweden.Nellie quickly settles in to her new surroundings. Sheâs happy with her foster family and soon favors the Swedish language over her native German. Not so for Stephie, who finds it hard to adapt; she feels stranded at the end of the world, with a foster mother whoâs as cold and unforgiving as the island itself. Her main worry, though, is her parentsâand whether she will ever see them again.Book Details: Format: Hardcover Publication Date: 11/10/2009 Pages: 256 Reading Level: Age 9 and Up
