Description

An emotional, thought-provoking book from multi-award-winning author Bette Greene.The summer that Patty Bergen turns twelve is a summer that will haunt her forever. When her small hometown in Arkansas becomes the site of a camp housing German prisoners during World War II, Patty learns what it means to open her heart. Even though she's Jewish, she begins to see a prison escapee, Anton, not as a Nazi, but as a lonely, frightened young man with feelings not unlike her own.In Anton, Patty finds someone who softens the pain of her own father's rejection and who appreciates her in a way her mother never will. While patriotic feelings run high, Patty risks losing family, friends — even her freedom — for this dangerous friendship. It is a risk she has to take and one she will have to pay a price to keep."An exceptionally fine novel." — The New York Times"Courageous and compelling!"  — Publishers WeeklyA National Book Award FinalistAn ALA Notable BookA  New York Times  Outstanding Book of the Year
