    About The Night Crossing

    For fans of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas comes a heartstopping tale of resilience for one young girl during World War II.

    It’s hard to leave your home and friends, but the Nazis have invaded Clara’s native Austria, and her family is no longer safe. Clara and her family take only what they can carry and travel by night to the Swiss border, where they hope to escape to freedom, even while soldiers are everywhere. Can Clara’s heroism carry her family across the border, with their lives and few precious possessions intact?
