Sommario/riassunto

In 1941, France is still "free." But fifteen-year-old Magali is frustrated by the cruel ironyof pretending life is normal when food is rationed, new clothes are a rarity, and most of her friends are refugees. And now the government is actually helping the Nazis. Someone has got to do something, but it seems like no one has the guts-unil Paquerette arrives. Smuggling refugee children is Paquerette's job. And she asks Magali to help. Working with Paquerette is scary and exhausting, but magali never doubts that it is the right thing to do. Until her brash actions put those she loves in danger ... from the cover.
