The Night Crossing by Karen Ackerman
For fans of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas comes a heartstopping tale of resilience for one young girl during World War I. It's hard to leave your home and friends, but the Nazis have invaded Clara's native Austria, and her family is no longer safe. Clara and her family take only what they can carry and travel by night to the Swiss border, where they hope to escape to freedom, even while soldiers are everywhere. Can Clara's heroism carry her family across the border, with their lives and few precious possessions intact?Karen Ackerman has authored more than 25 novels for children. ABA Pick of the List, ALA Outstanding Books, Children's Book Council/NCSS Notable Books in the Subject of Social Sciences, New York Library Best List, Horn Book's Best, and School Library Journal Best Books are just a few of the honors she's received for her work. Song and Dancing Man, illustrated by Stephen Gammell, won the Caldecott Medal in 1989.
