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.

- 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.

    "Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing."

In The House at Pooh Corner (1928) Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood embark on a new series of adventures filled with laughter, loyalty, and gentle wisdom. Pooh meets the irrepressible Tigger for the first time, learns to play Pooh sticks and sets a trap for a Heffalump in these delightful and whimsical stories that showcase loyalty, understanding and the bonds of true friendship. And Pooh and his friends face the bittersweet realities of change, particularly with Christopher Robin's impending departure to school.
Alan Alexander Milne (1882–1956) was an English author, playwright, and poet best known for creating the beloved children's stories of Winnie-the-Pooh. Milne wrote for Granta magazine before becoming a contributor and later assistant editor at Punch. Though he initially gained recognition as a playwright and humorist, his fame was cemented with the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928), inspired by his son Christopher Robin and his toys. Milne also served in World War I and the Home Guard during World War II. Despite his wide-ranging literary career, his legacy remains most strongly tied to the timeless tales of Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood.
