ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Georg loves his life in Germany, but his parents realise that Hitler means war and it is not safe for a half-English boy to stay in the country. He is smuggled out to England, where it is no safer; and then across the oceans to Australia. There he has to live a lie, denying his past and his identity - his German background would automatically make him a despised enemy, and his attitudes and what he has been taught to believe in pro-Nazi Germany will find no sympathy in his new home. As always, French writes simply and powerfully and this thoughtful novel will please her fans. Ages 12+ Lindy
