1938, Germany. "Be brave, little one," her mother whispers. Dagmar holds her hand tightly through the train window, trembling, trying not to cry. But as the train lurches forward, they are torn apart, and her mother is swallowed by the darkness.
As the train carries her far away from home, ten-year-old Dagmar's hand tightens around her sister's. As little Heike leans in, her acorn-coloured eyes wide, Dagmar is terrified she won't be able to keep her safe...
Dagma heart aches for her mother but only children were allowed on board. The carriage is crowded; a small boy hugs a battered teddy bear and cries for his father. A girl her own age whispers that this train is rescuing Jewish children. But their families have been left behind...
As the train jolts along the track, Dagmar holds her breath. Her scuffed suitcase, with everything she owns inside, bangs painfully against her.Dagmar and Heike have nobody else but each other; what will happen to them? And will they ever see their mother again?
A tear-jerking and unputdownable wartime novel inspired by the stories of what was later known as the Kindertransport. From USA Today bestselling author Marty Wingate, this heart-breaking and uplifting novel is perfect for fans of Orphan Train, Sold on a Monday, and Diney Costeloe.
