(2) 4-6 Picking up where Once left off, Felix, ten, and Zelda, six, escape from a train bound for Treblinka. In immediate danger from Nazi soldiers, they find refuge with Genia, a Polish farmwife who passes them off as visiting relatives. Felix's present-tense narrative is heartfelt, and the horrors of the setting are balanced with propulsive storytelling. Historically honest, but brutal, to be sure.
