It’s 1936 and seven-year-old Pierrot Fischer is living in Paris with his French mother. Pierrot’s German father, who was afflicted by his service in the Great War, left the family shortly after Pierrot’s fourth birthday. Although he misses his father deeply, Pierrot is content with his life in Paris with his mother, particularly as he has his best friend, Anshel, to keep him company. Read More

When Pierrot becomes an orphan, he must leave his home in Paris for a new life with his aunt Beatrix, a servant in a wealthy Austrian household. But this is no ordinary time, for it is 1935 and the Second World War is fast approaching. And this is no ordinary house, for this is the Berghof, the home of Adolf Hitler. Pierrot is quickly taken under Hitler's wing and thrown into an increasingly dangerous new world: a world of terror, secrets and betrayal from which he may never be able to escape. This title has Common Core connections.

Jewell Parker Rhodes’s TOWERS FALLING not only recalls some people’s stories of the tragic day in history known as 9/11, but also explores how that day affected America and the next generation of its citizens. This story follows fifth grader Deja as she learns about 9/11, an event that she doesn’t really care about because the whole thing happened before she was even born. Read More

When her fifth-grade teacher hints that a series of lessons about home and community will culminate with one big answer about two tall towers once visible outside their classroom window, Deja can't help but feel confused. She sets off on a journey of discovery, with new friends Ben and Sabeen by her side. But just as she gets closer to answering big questions about who she is, what America means, and how communities can grow (and heal), she uncovers new questions, too.
