A exceptional historical novel set in 1947 in Leipzig, Soviet-occupied Germany. Bass's vividly detailed and compellingly written story explores the effects of war and occupation from a unique perspective.
Growing up in Germany after WWII, Wilm and his friends defy the soviet occupation with pranks and after one goes wrong, have to escape. The story picks up as 5 teens (3 boys/2 girls) begin their journey to freedom, leaving their parents, school behind being chased by the Soviet and German police through the countryside finding their way to American occupied Bulgaria and settling in Munich.
