This week I'm featuring Children of the Stars by Mario Escobar releasing February 25.
About the Book
From international bestselling author Mario Escobar comes a story of escape, sacrifice, and hope amid the perils of the second World War.
Jacob and Moses know they must flee in order to survive, but they only have a set of letters sent from the south of France to guide them to their parents. Danger lurks around every corner as the boys, with nothing but each other, trek across the occupied country. Along their remarkable journey, they meet strangers and brave souls who put themselves at risk to protect the children—some of whom pay the ultimate price for helping these young refugees of war.
This inspiring novel, now available for the first time in English, demonstrates the power of family and the endurance of the human spirit—even through the darkest moments of human history.
Why I Need It
Auschwitz Lullaby was one of the best books I read in 2018, so when I saw this new book from the same author I immediately added it to my wish list.
What upcoming release are you eagerly anticipating?
This does sound like it will be gripping! I am interested in learning more about young refugees of war. I will have to add this one to the TBR as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by! :D
DeleteI can see why you're excited to read this one. It does sound like a very gripping story. Of course, I still need to read Auschwitz Lullaby! I need everyone to stop publishing new awesome books for one year so that I can get caught up on all the old ones. ;D
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, Lark! I'm never gonna get caught up with my TBR with all the great-sounding new ones constantly being released. :D
DeleteThis one sounds really good and is new to me too. Great pick.
