Description

A young girl’s life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself transported back in time to the harrowing days of Nazi-occupied Paris—based on the award-winning play that The New York Times called “eloquent and poignant.

“This is a powerful and affecting story.”—KLIATT

“Reminiscent of Jane Yolen’s The Devil’s Arithmetic.”—BCCB

In one moment, Nicole Burns’s life changes forever. The sound of gunfire at an Anne Frank exhibit, the panic, the crowd, and Nicole is no longer Nicole. Whiplashed through time and space, she wakes to find herself a privileged Jewish girl living in Nazi-occupied Paris in World War II. No more Internet diaries and boy troubles for Nicole—now she’s a carefree teenager, with wonderful friends and a charming boyfriend. But when the Nazi death grip tightens over France, Nicole is forced into hiding, and begins a struggle for survival that brings her face-to-face with Anne Frank.
