Lost in Spain: Spanish Civil War 1936

By John Wilson

Book Overview

"Wilson offers a unique perspective on this fascinating era...even minor characters are brought to life." Library Journal

Ted Ryan and his parents have a chance to escape the drudgery of the Depression in Canada for a holiday in Europe. Unfortunately, it is the summer of 1936 and Spain, where Ted longs to see a bullfight, is exploding in civil war. Swept up in the chaos, Ted finds himself alone and searching for his missing father. The only person who can help him is Dolores, a beautiful Spanish revolutionary who can explain what is going on, but who is in just as much danger as Ted as they travel across the war-torn countryside.

Great, fast read for teens

I really enjoyed reading this book. The storyline was fast paced and full of adventure. I loved learning about the Spanish civil war that was discussed within the story. It's a great book for summer reading.
