A gripping historical novel about a daring escape from Nazi Germany

The responsibility weighs heavily on the shoulders of twelve-year-old Holger. Ever since their Jewish parents were deported, it has been up to him to hide his younger siblings from the Gestapo.

Countess Sophie finally wants to do more than just talk and joins a resistance network. Her first mission: to take three children to a safe place.

But nowhere in Berlin is safe from danger.

When a bomb hits the hiding place, the members of the network hatch a daring plan to help them escape from the Reich.

The courage of the siblings and their helpers is put to the test as they risk everything to escape the horrors of war.

Will the plan succeed, or will they be discovered before they manage to cross the border into freedom?

Based on the true historical events of the Mission Swedish Furniture.

Industry Reviews

"Gut wrenching yet inspirational story of 3 Jewish children left on their own in Berlin when their parents are taken off to the camps." Debbi B, Reviewer on Netgalley

"This book had me hooked! I raced through it, and it felt much shorter than 248 pages. Despite this being my most read genre, I hadn't heard of "Operation Swedish Furniture", so as well as being an addictive, nail biting story, it was also educational." Charlotte L, Reviewer on Netgalley

"This is unputdownable historical fiction. The author has knocked another one out of the park! This novel focuses on the efforts of Resistance workers to get three orphaned siblings safely away from the Nazi regime." Stephanie F, Reviewer on Netgalley
