"Teachers, librarians, homeschool moms take note. Lizzie and the Guernsey Gang will not only help you teach history, it'll help you share the joy of discovering it with your students." --Angela Breidenbach, author
"This is a wonderful novel for children in upper elementary grades. The historical background is fascinating and presented in a child-friendly format. Refreshingly, the children are realistically flawed and enterprising, while remaining obedient and respectful."~Sarah Sundin, author of ten WWII-era novels
Lizzie Browning loves her tiny, island home of Guernsey. It's quaint and peaceful, but when Germans drop bombs on her beautiful beach, the island becomes a prison. For months, the big war in Europe has been nothing more than stories in the paper, but as the enemy marches in, those dreadful stories become her own.
For Lizzie, younger brother Andre, and Cousin James, the time to escape is now, and they know just how to do it. Phillip Seifert, the odd boy from down the street, has all the makings of a genuine Nazi-lover. Lizzie knows better than to trust him, but somehow, he manages to worm his way into James's favor. With Hitler Youth menacing them, Lizzie can do little more than pray that Phillip doesn't get them all shot.
Soon though, Lizzie learns her prayers aren't always answered the way she expects. God might actually plan for them to live under Nazi rule...forever.
From the Author:
Did you know that Lizzie really exists? She does! Not everything Lizzie experienced really happened, but the little girl who lived on Guernsey in 1940 when the Germans invaded is a real-live person. She's one of my dear friends, too. Her name is Ruth Davies, and I'd love for you to meet her, her island, and the war she experienced. You can do so in this book's Extras.
Besides a fantastic story adventure, you'll get these additional features in LIZZIE AND THE GUERNSEY GANG. Great for homeschoolers!
