About this listen

Jennifer A. Nielsen, award-winning author of A Night Divided and Rescue, artfully weaves together the stories of five kids living through World War I, each of whom holds the key to the others' futures... if they are lucky -- and brave -- enough to find each other.

World War I stretches its cruel fingers across Europe, where five young people, each from different backgrounds and nations, face the terror of battle, the deprivations of hunger, and all the awful challenges of war.

Felix, from Austria-Hungary, longs for the bravery to resist Jewish deportations before his own family can be taken.

Kara, from Britain, dreams of someday earning her Red Cross pin and working as a nurse -- or even a doctor.

Juliette, of France, hopes her family can remain knitted together, despite her father's imprisonment, as the war's longest battle stretches on and on.

Elsa, from Germany, hopes her homing pigeon might one day bring her a friend from out of the chaos.

And Dimitri, of Russia, wants only to survive the front, where he's been sent with no weapon.

None of them will find exactly what they want. But the winds of fate may cross their paths to give each of them just what they need. And in this remarkable exploration of World War I by critically acclaimed author Jennifer A. Nielsen, they will discover that friendship and courage can light the way through the most frightening of nights.

I love Jennifer Nielsen books!

This book is amazing 🤩 I seriously don’t know why they don’t make these books into movies! They aren’t violent they don’t have bad words and they are uplifting and family friendly. Why don’t they make these into movies. And the book is amazing Juliette is my favorite character she is so sweet and wholesome. Please read or listen to this book! ☺️

Good book to start out with on WW1

I like this book, although it’s not as action-packed as I would prefer, but definitely great book for young readers to start learning about World War 1. I loved all the characters,especially Juliette. I really liked Kara too. Awesome story, very unique, but like I said, personally I like books like Resistance and Words On Fire better. Also really recommend those books. But great job Jennifer! Another job well done.

Good book!

When I first got this audiobook I didn’t expect much but a decent book that I thought was interesting sense I’ve never listened to a WW1 book. But this was amazing and one of my favorite audiobooks and one that made me feel and care about the characters. This is an amazing book and I highly recommend to anyone especially if you are interested the slightest bit about WW1.

Wonderful intro to World War I

A wonderful story for students who like historical fiction and want to get a feel for World War I. The author notes at the end give facts that may encourage the reader to pursue reading nonfiction books about World War I.

The Voices, they sounded so good.

I personally do like reading without a voice reading it to me in the background. This was and amazing book to listen to. Would definitely recommend.
