Anna and the Swallow Man is a stunning, literary and wholly original debut novel that tells a new WWII story. Kraków, 1939, is no place to grow up. There are a million marching soldiers and a thousand barking dogs. And Anna Lania is just seven years old when the Germans take her father and suddenly, she’s alone. Then she meets the Swallow Man. He is a mystery, strange and tall. And, like Anna's missing father, he has a gift for languages: Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish, even Bird.

Story1
The prosecution of Leo Frank was front-page news for two years, and Frank's lynching is still one of the most controversial incidents of the twentieth century. It marks a turning point in the history of racial and religious hatred in America, leading directly to the founding of the Anti-Defamation League and to the rebirth of the modern Ku Klux Klan. Relying on primary source documents and painstaking research, award-winning novelist Elaine Alphin tells the true story of justice undone in America.

At the outset of World War II, Denmark did not resist German occupation. Deeply ashamed of his nation's leaders, 15-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to take action against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots in the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who eventually had the boys tracked down and arrested. But their efforts were not in vain.

Could any story be more inspiring than that of Joan of Arc, the courageous maiden who fought for the glory of France and God? Guided by what she firmly believed were visions of saints, this young Frenchwoman - still just 16 years old - led her people in battle against the British occupiers. Though she proved victorious in war, Joan ultimately became a martyr when some of her own countrymen betrayed her to the English.

What is honor? How does someone show resourcefulness? What does it mean to be patient, forgiving, or brave? When it comes to understanding and developing character traits, biographical stories are a powerful tool. Powerful not only because they so effectively illustrate virtues but also because your young reader doesn't feel preached at. These 10 stories are engrossing! - Instead of being told, "You should be dependable," they will read about medic Cecil Breeden who unflinchingly administered medical care to wounded soldiers on Omaha Beach amidst heavy German fire on D-Day.

April, 1945. Alle spüren, dass der Krieg und die fürchterliche Ideologie der Nationalsozialisten kurz vor dem Ende stehen. Doch in der Nacht vom 28. auf den 29. April 1945, zwei Tage vor Hitlers Selbstmord, ereignet sich das dunkelste Kapitel der damals noch jungen Stadt Penzberg in Bayern. Denn während der einst von den Nazis abgesetzte Bürgermeister zurück ins Rathaus zieht, erlässt die Wehrmacht den Befehl, alle Widerständler sofort hinzurichten. Und zwischen allen Fronten stehen die Jugendlichen Marie, Schorsch und Gustl.
