With the rise of the Berlin Wall, Gerta finds her family suddenly divided. 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, 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 friends are prisoners in their own city.

But one day on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Gerta concludes that her father wants her 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?

Great class book!

My students loved this book! They actually clapped when it was done. The performance was great. The story was suspenseful and they begged me to play it. I have read all of Jennifer Nielsen's books and they are all brilliant.

everything was really good but I can't think of anything that I disliked it was a great

Great read/listen! Would recommend!

I loved this book! I normally avoid books and don’t read them often. I tried to read/listen to the first Percy Jackson book and it took me 6 months to actually finish. I also find very little interest in history but I listened to this whole thing in a weekend! The story was great, and engaging. I thoroughly loved this and hope you do too!

A new favorite for me.

I loved this book. The narrator did an outstanding job. I loved how each chapter started with an insightful quote. This book really helped one get a feel for what life and relationships would have been like during this time. This book would be great for all ages. So many good discussion points. I highly recommend it.
