Official synopsis Publisher
“Munich, 1938. Nazi Germany. The propaganda machine spews its poison into the minds of the German people. Those who do not meet the Nazi standard of perfection are increasingly vulnerable. Membership in Hitler Youth is the law for all Germans aged 10-18. A timid 14-year-old Youth member contracts polio. Photographs she takes of fellow polio patients are twisted, turned into propaganda which mocks people with disabilities. That’s when she realizes – her new disability has made her an outsider in her own country, a target of Nazi scorn and possible persecution. This book is a B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree for Historical Fiction. For fans of The Book Thief, Number the Stars, and Code Name Verity.”– Amazon.com.
