“The Night War” by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley.
“12-year-old Miri escapes the roundup of her Jewish neighborhood in Paris and ends up in a small French village where she’s taken in at a boarding school. She pretends to to be Catholic, but nowhere is safe in France for a Jewish girl in 1942. One night, Miri volunteers to undertake a deadly task, one that spans the castle grounds, its bridge, and the very border to freedom. One thing is certain: The person Miri meets that night will save her life. And the person Miri becomes that night could save the lives of many more.
By the author of the best-selling “The War that Saved My Life” comes a gripping new novel about the power of choosing courage even when — especially when — there are no good choices to be had. Highly recommended for ages 10 and up.Kimberly Brubaker Bradley is also the author of the award-winning book “The War that Saved My Life” and its sequel “The War I Finally Won,” both for ages 10 and up.
For two more powerful novels about the Jewish children who had to hide from the Nazis by posing as Christian orphans, we recommend “The Safest Lie” for ages 9 to 12 and “Alias Anna: A True Story of Outwitting the Nazis” for ages 10 and up.
