Long weekends after a full week at school (our first in three weeks due to school being canceled for bad air quality due to fires) are sooooooo needed. - 📚. A friend and fellow librarian recommended thus series to me, so I am reading them before donating them to my library. Books that make history come alive are something I’ve always loved. - 📚. SYNOPSIS: With the rise of the Berlin Wall, Gerta finds her family suddenly divided. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city. - . But one day on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Gerta concludes that her father wants her and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom? - 📚. Has anyone read this or the other books in the series? They cover WW II and the Russian Revolution as well. May have to read the other two as well. - 📚.
