About this listen

The thrilling story of one boy's quest to find his father and protect his younger sister during the great Dutch famine of World War II.

"Sometimes you have to take a chance, because it's the only chance you have."

Thirteen-year-old Dirk has been the man of the house since his papa disappeared while fighting against the Nazis with the Dutch Resistance. When the Gestapo arrests Dirk's older sister, who is also a Resistance fighter, Dirk fears that he and his little sister, Anna, might be next.

With only pockets full of food and his sister asleep in his arms, Dirk runs away to find his father. As Dirk leads Anna across the war-torn Netherlands, from farmyards to work camps, he must rely on his wits and his father's teaching to find his way.

This book was gripping from start to finish. I loved the characters, the well written plotline and the faith-based elements that were carefully woven as a part of the story. I'm eagerly waiting for more books by the author! I think I just found a new favourite author.
The narrator also did a fantastic job, narrating with lots of expression and various accents. He made the story come to life!

A gripping well written story and great narrator!
