(3) 4-6 In post–WWII Budapest, a young Jewish girl struggles to understand the violence and dreadful changes happening in her country. Helping her mother sew black-market stuffed bears, she eventually accepts her beloved brother's decision to defect to the West. Cheng has created a well-crafted narrative and an appealing main character in a setting with which many readers may not be familiar.
