But the city isn't the only thing that is divided. Ada lives among the rebels, punkers, and immigrants of Kreuzberg in West Berlin. Stefan lives in East Berlin, in a faceless apartment bunker of Friedrichshain. Bound by love and separated by circumstance, their only chance for a life together lies in a high-risk escape. But will Stefan find the courage to leap? Or will forces beyond his control stand in his way? National Book Award finalist Beth Kephart presents a story of daring and sacrifice in this three-starred reviewed Junior Library Guild Selection and Booklist Top 10 Historical Fiction for Youth.
In the early 1980s, Ada and Stefan are young, would-be lovers living on opposite sides of the Berlin Wall: Ada lives in West Berlin among rebels, punkers and immigrants; Stefan lives in East Berlin with his grandmother— and their only chance for a life together lies in a high-risk escape.
