'''Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2017: Older Fiction'''
It's Poland in 1939. And Anna's linguistics professor father is about to be rounded up in the Nazi purge of intellectuals. Knowing this is likely to happen, he leaves her in the care of a friend for the day. When her father doesn't return to collect her, the frightened friend loses his nerve and abandons Anna to a new and dangerous world. Anna is just seven years old and will never see her father again.
The obvious suggestions for ''more like this'' are [[The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne]] and [[The Book Thief by Markus Zusak]]. But you might also want to look at the dangerous [[The Road of Bones by Anne Fine]] or the magical [[The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M Valente]] as well.
