( ) Jo and Maurice Joffo travel by foot, train and bus to Dax, Cripes, Marseille, Menton and Nice to escape Nazi occupation and join their brothers. Along the way they encounter Nazi authorities who demand to see their papers. Jo and Maurice manage to evade Nazi authorities by persuasion. Jo and Maurice reunite with their brothers and parents but find themselves separate once again. This story based on the true story of Joseph Joffo, who was ten years old, who in 1941 was sent off with his older brother by his father, given fifty francs and instructions to flee Nazi-occupied Paris for unoccupied France. The story of their survival is amazing but this presentation of the story is not. I was very disappointed with the language choices in this book and frankly I think younger readers would find it disappointing as well. It is not authentic and appears to be written in the hopes of attracting a specific age of reader rather than to make great story that could be enjoyed by readers of any age. With phrases such as 'hop to it' 'don't have a fit' 'hold your horses' 'stop blubbering' 'you're gonna get it' and 'doorbell ditches' set against the backdrop of 1941 Paris, the symmetry is severely lacking. It is difficult to imagine YA readers buying in without realizing the graphic has been dumbed down. I was however very impressed with the graphic art itself. The street scenes, characters and situational depictions are beautifully done and integrated into an amazing journey of their own. I especially liked the graphics of the story within the story that the boys' father tells them at bedtime. The drawings are stylized to offset them from the main graphic novel content. It is a common technique but cleverly used here. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In 1941 in occupied Paris, brothers Maurice and Joseph play a last game of marbles before running home to their father's barbershop. This is the day that will change their lives forever. With the German occupation threatening their family's safety, the boys' parents decide Maurice and Joseph must disguise themselves and flee to their older brothers in the free zone. Surviving the long journey will take every scrap of ingenuity and courage they can muster. And if they hope to elude the Nazis, they must never, under any circumstances, admit to being Jewish. The boys travel by train, by ferry, and on foot, facing threats from strangers and receiving help from unexpected quarters. Along the way they must adapt to the unfamiliar world beyond their city-and find a way to be true to themselves even as they conceal their identities. Based on an autobiographical novel by Joseph Joffo and adapted with the author's input, this true story offers a harrowing but inspiring glimpse of a childhood cut short.
