by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch

Lida is an 8 year old Ukrainian girl who is captured by the Nazis and separated from her sister Larissa.  As she is taken from everything familiar  and forced to work in a labour camp making bombs for the war, Lida nonetheless sustains the hope that she will one day be reunited with her sister.  A book with diverse appeal to both boys and girls - and this year the Silver Birch readers' choice!
