Encounter series.
Illustrated by
el primo Ramón.
Sixteen-year-old Hedy and her family must overcome numerous obstacles on the perilous journey from Hungary through Nazi-ruled territory to Lisbon and on to America. Gray- and sepia-toned illustrations reflect both the time period's dark history and the family's struggle to survive together. While a bit wordy, this story illuminating the author's family history nevertheless offers a worthy contribution to the Holocaust canon. Reading list, timeline. Glos.
