Escape from War
Is there one 'true' version of history? Is there always one 'good' side in a war? In this book you can read about two very different young people living through a dramatic moment in history. Their paths cross, but they don't see eye to eye. This unique 'flippable' book lets you read both sides of the story. Frank. Frank finds war exciting - there are air raid sirens at night and ruins to explore by day. But when his East End neighbourhood is bombed, Frank is evacuated to the countryside. Homesick and bored, he does not like the other evacuee, a strange girl named Hannah. He thinks they have nothing in common, until he receives some very bad news ... Hannah. In 1938, Hannah escapes by train to the safe English countryside, but she cannot forget the sound of breaking glass and the sight of Nazi soldiers rampaging through the Jewish district of Hamburg. She worries that she will never see her family, left behind in Germany, again. Why doesn't the new boy, Frank, understand the horror of war?
