In post-World War II Germany, tensions mount. Berlin, the former capital city, is now in Soviet-controlled territory, but it is still governed in part by the western allies, creating an isolated enclave in a hostile land. Robert Elmer's three-book generational series for kids unfolds against the backdrop of Cold War Berlin. These gripping adventures tell the story three young teens, connected by family, faith, and friendship, as they struggle to hold on to life and each other, while their lives brutally separated by the Berlin Wall. Recommended for ages 8 to 12.
