I found this book a little dry, but loved the illustrations and the true story aspect behind the story. The story follows a families story of escaping Nazi authorities, finding each other, and how they kept love alive together even when they were forced apart.
Jo and Maurice Joffo travel by foot, train and bus to Dax, Cripes, Marseille, Menton and Nice to escape Nazi occupation and join their brothers. Along the way they encounter Nazi authorities who demand to see their papers. Jo and Maurice manage to evade Nazi authorities by persuasion. Jo and Maurice reunite with their brothers and parents but find themselves separate once again.
