My Top Ten Books is a series of short book
reviews.
#4 on my list is written by Ed Dunlop. Escape to
Liechtenstein.
This book is set in the second world war in Austria.
Hans and Gretchen, the main characters, live in a small village by
themselves. Their mother was killed and their father was forced to
serve for the Nazis.
It starts out a peaceful day but when Gretchen sees Nazi
soldiers walking towards the village she yells for Hans, “Nazi
soldiers are coming! What will we do!?” Hans being a good brother
said calmly back to her, “stay quiet and calm maybe they won't come
here.” But they did come...
Bang Bang, “open up!” Said a Nazi soldier, “open
up!” “We're coming,” Hans called, “just a moment.”
The soldiers asked if they were the only ones there and
they answered truthfully saying yes. The soldiers were looking for a
runaway boy and asked again if they were the only ones there. But the
soldiers had to find out for themselves. They rummaged through every
room turning them all upside down to no avail. They went out to the
barn to search but they finally gave up. So after all that Hans and
Gretchen were finally by themselves again with a huge mess to clean
up and even more hatred for those Nazis!
They looked down into the village and saw all the Nazi
soldiers marching through the streets finally leaving the village
alone. Then Hans heard something up in the loft of the barn, “be
quiet Gretchen I hear something.” A board creaked then another,
someone was up in the loft! Hans and Gretchen moved over quietly to
where they could see the intruder but he couldn't see them. The
intruder started backing down the ladder! Will this intruder be armed
and dangerous!? Or will he be friendly and kind!? Read the book to
find out!
This book makes my top five because it tells the story
of hate changing into sympathy While still having plenty of suspense
and action. So if you love Historical Fiction look this book up and
maybe give it a try!
