Books with title Andi's War

Andrew rounded the stand of small knobby pines and came face to face with two men dressed in blue holding cocked pistols aimed at him. The year is 1865 and General Sherman’s army has marched into North Carolina and into eleven year old Andrew’s life. The soldiers slaughter his hogs and take his wounded father prisoner. The make-believe games of war with his friends and dreams of glory are over. He experiences the terrible injustice of war and greed. His attempts to rescue his father and the same ruthless soldiers that burned his grandfather’s home capture him. Escape is impossible and execution for spying is all but certain. His greatest regret is not freeing his father.No boy should endure the terrible agony of war. Yet, man will wage war against man and boys will experience all the inhumanity of war. Andrew’s War is an action packed story of courage.

Anya Rosen and her family have left their home in Odessa for Shanghai, believing that China will be a safe haven from Hitler's forces. At first, Anya's life in the Jewish Quarter of Shanghai is privileged and relatively carefree: she has crushes on boys, fights with her mother, and longs to defy expectations just like her hero, Amelia Earhart. Then Anya finds a baby―a newborn abandoned on the street. Amelia Earhart goes missing. And it becomes dangerously clear that no place is safe―not for Jewish families like the Rosens, not for Shanghai's poor, not for adventurous women pilots.Based on a true story, Anya's War by Andrea Alban is a rich, transcendent novel about a little-known time in Holocaust history.
