Summary

During WWII, when the Nazis hunt Jewish children, the kids' only hope is help from the Dutch Resistance. But these brave volunteers are outgunned, outmanned, and all they have is each other.
In this sequel to Hunger Winter, thirteen -year-old Dirk and his family move to a farm near Utrecht, Netherlands, in January of 1945. When the Nazis focus on capturing Jewish children to send to gas chambers, Dirk's family intervenes. Their methods include providing ration cards and finding families to hide Jewish children and teens.
With edge-of-your-seat action and suspense, the reader follows Dirk and his family as they work with the Dutch Resistance to protect the children and battle the zeal and determination of the Gestapo to find the children and send them to their deaths.
This World War II historical fiction novel for kids features:

- Edge-of-your-seat excitement and danger set against the backdrop of the Holocaust
- Historically accurate accounts of WWII events not normally covered in other books
- Maps of the Netherlands to help parents and teachers prepare lessons for children about the history of WWII
This middle-grade book is an adventure to be read again and again, a story that should not be forgotten.

    What real parents are saying … 
    “My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”  
    - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
    “Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
    “The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”

    A thrilling tale of the Devil's final ride between the darkness and dawn, watching as mankind falls victim to the curse of progress and speed, rejecting all peace and silence, all reflection and godliness. As he goes, he gathers phantoms and monsters, hell-bound victims and dark shadows, all the while telling the natural world to rejoice, for it will soon be free of the curse of Man.Written in 1910, this Christian tome is as relevant today as it was a century ago, as people fall victim to the next and fastest thing, falling away from God in the process. The devil's visceral delight in modernity is poetic and chilling "Come, ye pretenders to holiness—ye thieves of virtue, who give ‘charity’ to the poor with the right hand, and cheat your neighbour with the left! Come, all ye morphia-fed vampires and slaves to poison!—grasp at my wheels and cling!”Corelli lived in the spaces between. Even her birth is still shrouded in mystery, and was the grandest Romance and Christian writer of her era. She outsold Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling put together. Critics hated her, calling her "the favourite of the common multitude", and she hated them in return. A favourite of Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria and William Gladstone. She was also a lesbian, with a her 'companion' of 40 years to whom she left her entire estate and is buried alongside her in a couples grave. Her friends included Mark Twain, Ouida, the Empress Frederick of Germany, and Alfred Tennyson, while her writing tried to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation and astral projection."a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius, and was accepted as a genius by a public to whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting." - Grant Allen "the imagination of a Poe with the style of an Ouida and the mentality of a nursemaid." -James Agate
