(3) 4-6 In WWII Poland, at her parents' insistence, nine-year-old Anna Bauman reluctantly flees the Warsaw ghetto, leaving her family behind. Called Anna Karwolska, she is cared for by nuns, then by secret Resistance fighters. Anna's struggle to hide her identity while she yearns to remember her past is vividly wrought. The text is dense, but the story is compelling.
