Life in Communist Hungary isn't easy for thirteen-year-old Nelly. Food is scarce and so are clothes. But she has great friends and a special boy she likes, so the hardships are bearable. When the Hungarian Revolution erupts in 1956, Nelly's world crumbles. Along with the Revolution comes a new tide of anti-Semitism. Nelly's family is Jewish, and her parents are convinced that the family must flee. Everything she cares about- her cozy room, her favorite books, and her closest friends-will have to stay behind. There's not time even to say good-bye. This powerful tale of escape and relocation is both uplifting and heartrending. Will Nelly and her family ever find a place to call home?
