When 13-year-old Jody and her friends save a badly beaten Russian soldier from
drowning, they put into motion a chain of events that will take them from Berlin to Paris
and straight into danger. Jody must quickly learn to trust herself, because in the time
directly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the border between friend and enemy is not as
clear as it once was. I chose to read this book because I love historical fiction. I liked the
characters. I cared about them and what happened to them. My favorite part was about
their adventure in Paris. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a historical
fiction story or a story about friendship.
