In this companion to the Newbery Honor-winning Lily's Crossing, thirteen-year-old Genevieve risks everything to defy the Nazis and join the French Resistance.

Winner of the Christopher Award!
It's not always thinking of being happy. Doing the right thing will make you happy.
Despite the farm-work and her irritable grandmother Memé, Genevieve thinks she may have found a new home in Alsace, France, where she spent the summer of 1939.  Without much to return to in New York, Gen is ready to see if this new life will make her happy.
But then World War II erupts. The Nazis conquer France. 
Now everyone in Alsace must speak German, act German, and think German—or else. Even worse, a cold Nazi officer has commandeered a room in Memé's farmhouse—and he can tell that Gen and her grandmother aren't loyal to the Reich.
But Gen won't be cowed. And when her friend Rémy commits an act of sabotage, she hides him in the last place the Germans will look—in the attic, right above the Nazi's head.
For more thrilling historical fiction, don't miss Island War, a survival story set in the remote Aleutian Islands, occupied by the Japanese during World War II, and A Slip of a Girl, a novel in verse about the Irish Land War of the late 19th century.
