The Cats In Krasinski Square

BY KAREN HESSE, ILLUSTRATED BY WENDY WATSON

Brief Description:
The cats in Krasinski Square once belonged to someone. and so did a young girl, whose family has been destroyed by war. As she and her sister struggle to survive amidst war's chaos, they became involved in a plan to help those still inside Warsaw's infamous ghetto. Food must be delivered inside the ghetto walls. But the soldiers have dogs that will sniff out the hidden food the smugglers bring to Warsaw by train. If the dogs can be distracted, then the smugglers might be able to slip away. Karen Hesse has written an achingly beautiful story about the courage of brave young women and men who, at great risk, fought not with weapons, but with their hearts and souls.
