After laying careful plans, he makes an attempt-and gets away safely. He’s a prisoner to the Nazis, but he knows he must escape quickly and find his family again. In The Silver Sword, we first meet Joseph. By the time we got half-way through the book, I was so interested in the story I wished I had taken the time to read it to myself, just so I could find out what happened in the end faster! I told Mom about it and she said something along the lines of, “Great! I was hoping I’d be able to read it to your brothers anyway!” I really should have said “uh, oh” then and there. I’ll admit it right now: I was supposed to read The Silver Sword for school, and after the first two chapters I quit (it may not have been even that far in). Synopsis: Four children, trying to find their missing parents and stay alive while fleeing from the war, embark on a dangerous journey across Europe-one that could easily end in their deaths. Major Themes: 20th century, Europe, Historical Fiction, Second World War
