(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Basque girl Ani, daughter of a sardine seller, feels insignificant in war-torn 1937 Spain. Then she and fourteen-year-old Mathias, a Jewish refugee from Germany, become friends--and spies for an underground resistance effort. This absorbing historical novel juxtaposes the Nazi bombing of Guernica in WWII with Spain's Civil War, a less-represented event that, like Gonzalez's distinct characters, deserves attention. Glos.
