German Nazis occupy much of France. And twelve-year-old Miriam, who is Jewish, is not safe. With help and quick thinking, Miri is saved from the roundup that takes her entire Jewish neighborhood. She escapes Paris, landing in a small French village, where the spires of the famous Chateau de Chenonceau rise high into the sky, its bridge across the River Cher like a promise, a fairy tale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Miri's life is no fairy tale. Her parents are gone--maybe alive, maybe not. Taken in at the boarding school near the chateau, pretending to be Catholic to escape Nazi capture, Miri is called upon one night to undertake a deadly task, one that spans the castle grounds, its bridge, and the very border to freedom. Here is her chance to escape--hopefully to find her parents. But will she take it? One thing is certain: The person Miri meets that night will save her life. And the person Miri becomes that night could save the lives of many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her return to the era of \u003ci\u003eThe War that Saved My Life\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe War I Finally Won\u003c\/i\u003e, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley brings a new and different story, one with a mystical twist, that explores a little-known slice of World War II history, a highly unusual friendship, and the power of choosing courage even when--especially when--there are no good choices to be had.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKimberly Brubaker Bradley (she\/her) is the author of Newbery Honor winners \u003ci\u003eFighting Words \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe War that Saved My Life\u003c\/i\u003e.
