Description
A new heart-wrenching, impeccably researched historical novel for middle-grade readers
The Nazis want everyone to be the same. If you're different, you don't belong.
Not belonging is dangerous ...
Anna's little sister, Eva, is frail and needs time to learn new things. She has a huge heart and a gift for loving, but Hitler doesn't value such riches. And so she's hidden away. Safe for now, but with the threat of discovery always near.
Anna does her best to bring joy and light to Eva's small life. But soon, more children need hiding. Risks are taken -- by Anna, by her best friend Udo, by a Nazi seamstress and feisty Brunhilde. Until Anna wonders if any of them will make it through the war ...
Loyalty and love. Family and friendship. Understanding and tolerance. Right and wrong. Multi-award-winning Australian author Katrina Nannestad explores it all in this thrilling and powerful historical novel, All the Beautiful Things.
