A gifted violinist, fifteen-year-old Reuven Bloom lives in the Pale, "the only region in Russia where Jews were allowed to settle." When Cossacks kill most of his family during a pogrom, Reuven escapes to Poland in disguise and carrying his baby sister on his back. Their dangerous trek is filled with incident and drama in this companion volume to The Night Journey.
