(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old orphan Theo, a member of the Greek youth resistance, is witness to his older brother's execution by Nazis. Taken to the home of a priest and his healer wife, Theo explores his feelings through the puppet shows he performs. Harrison's first novel contains rich and sometimes challenging metaphor, literary allusion, and layers of understanding that deepen as events unfold.
