Hunger Winter
It's 1944 in the Netherlands. When the Gestapo snatched his older sister, Dirk had to leave home in the middle of the night. He left with his pockets stuffed with food, his little sister in his arms, and his heart heavy with a dark secret. He had to elude the Nazis, protect his sister, and find their father. But if the Gestapo can't find Papa, what chance does a 13-year-old boy have?
