Very interesting story at the moment. The winter is in full swing, and with it, need of provisions and other necessities. However as the German resistance pushes on, it becomes harder and harder to get resources. Nonetheless, Tamar and Dart figure out a way to both send a coded message, and send a list of provisions to HQ in London.

ReplyDeleteHi, Gordon! This book sounds fascinating. Did you put it on hold for the summer? I love novels abouth WWII. Have you ever read Snow Treasure? It was a favorite of mine when I was in 4th grade (I KNOW--- amazing that I can remember back that far.) I'm interested to know how this story develops.
