Books with title The Deer In The Wood

"I met the devil in the woods when I was nine years old. I had been warned about him, but only in that oblique way that adults have of warning children about things parents believe are beyond a child's understanding. Parents have it backward, really. As children, we knew things that terrified us so badly we rushed to grow up and forget about them. But forgetting about them didn't make them any less real...""The Devil in the Woods" is a novella about learning the world is stranger than we have imagined, and that there is a price that must be paid in order to be a hero.

When the Russians come, where do you go? Fritz loves his vegetable garden. His tomatoes are delicious, he's attentive to the asparagus, and he remembers how to keep slugs off the strawberries. But his tranquil life on the family farm is about to end—the Russians are near, Hitler has died, and known Nazi sympathizers like the Friedrich family brace for the Bolsheviks to take over their town. Local German supporters of the Bolshevik regime seize the Friedrich farm in the name of Communism, forcing Fritz's family to flee to the distant house of his grandmother, Oma Clara. Life there for Fritz is horrible, made even worse when Communists arrest his mother and Lech, the Polish farmhand who has tended the Friedrich land, for hiding weapons. Though there is no evidence to support the accusation, Gertrude and Lech are taken away, and Fritz commits to finding where they are imprisoned. Despite the boy's heroic efforts, the story ends with one of the war's ambiguities: that Lech and Gertrude may not return home.
