(3) 1-3 During World War II, Lenny, a young Jewish boy, is evacuated from London to the country, where he must cope by himself with strange surroundings and unfriendly children. Inspired by the unicorn on the medal his father gave him, Lenny discovers his own brand of courage. Hughes enhances Lenny's story with large, dramatic watercolors and small, sensitive black-and-white vignettes.
