A Night Divided

[psocoptera]

A Night Divided, Jennifer A. Nielsen, middlegrade historical fiction about a family tunnelling from East to West Berlin under the Berlin Wall in the mid-1960s. Good stuff - the very physical, concrete action of the tunnelling paired with abstract thinking about freedom, some good tense thriller-y stuff with the Stasi (but handled in an age-appropriate way), and for Junie it's an entire era of history she's probably never heard of before. Junie tells me it's been very popular with her friends at school. I am now up to four MCBA books - I realized I had already read one - I guess one more and I get to have an opinion, is the theory? (I mean, not a voting opinion, but just an informed opinion.)

that sounds cool. The Berlin wall stuff is fascinating, some of the real stories read like fiction.
