YA
Translated by Linda Schenck.
It’s been a year since Stephie and her little sister left their home in Nazi-occupied Vienna for the safety of a remote Swedish island. As this sequel to A Faraway Island opens, Stephie, now thirteen, is moving to the mainland to continue her education. Her story of adjustment to a new school and of a first crush is both specific and universal.
