From New York Times best-selling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a stunning thriller about a girl who must escape to freedom after the Berlin Wall divides her family between east and west. With the rise of the Berlin Wall, 12-year-old Gerta finds her family divided overnight. 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, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, 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 her friends are prisoners in their own city. But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance.
Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta 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?

This was an interesting read. The story of the book takes place in the 60's, right after the wall was buiIt. I myself grew up in West Berlin in the 70's and 80's. I thought the author did a good job, putting a fictional story around true events. Having myself been to East Berlin during a later time of the wall, it was reminding me of how I felt and how some of my family felt during the time of German divide.
My son was reading this book for his 6th Grade and it brought up many questions and interesting conversations. Definitely would recommend this book for young readers, but also good for older ones.
