Ashes

By Kathryn Lasky

Book Overview

Berlin, 1932. 13-year-old Gabriella Schramm's world is slowly but steadily crumbling as Adolf Hitler rises to power. The only thing that soothes Gabriella is her favourite pastime - reading. But tensions rise, the streets fill with soldiers, Gaby's sister's boyfriend raises his arm in a Heil Hitler salute and a family friend - Albert Einstein - flees the country. What's more, her only solace, her books, come under attack. Will Gaby have to leave behind the stories - and the life - that she has always loved?
