A beautifully written, heartbreaking novel set in Germany just before and after World War II. While it is fiction, the author has clearly done his research, which is well-documented and impressively brought to life in the main characters, whom he eve ...more | |

Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"

I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand."
"I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said.
"And..." Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam t-shirt.”
