Summer of My German Soldier
ISBN-13: 9780141306360
An emotional, thought-provoking book from multi-award winning author Bette Greene.
When her small hometown in Arkansas becomes the site of a camp housing German prisoners during World War II, 12-year-old Patty Bergen learns what it means to open her heart. Although she's Jewish, she begins to see a prison escapee, Anton, not as a Nazi -- but as a lonely, frightened young man with feelings not unlike her own, who understands and appreciates her in a way her parents never will. And Patty is willing to risk losing family, friends -- even her freedom -- for what has quickly become the most important part of her life.
Thoughtful, moving, and hard-hitting, SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER has become a modern classic.
"An exceptionally fine novel." --The New York Times
"Courageous and compelling!" --Publishers Weekly
A National Book Award Finalist
An ALA Notable Book
A New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year
Target age group 13 and up
