In the
second book in this series Felix has taken Zelda under his wings. He has
decided to help them find a new home and
find his parents who he still thinks is alive. He holds on to this hope
throughout. Zelda claims she is Jewish even though she isn’t. Her parents were
actual Nazi supporters. As Felix and Zelda travel across Poland they witness the
horrors of the Nazis. Felix does his best to shield her from a lot of this
violence. He tells her stories to take her mind off of any troubles they may
run into. As a ten-year-old he seems at times so much older. Zelda is only six
and can definitely be annoying. Felix takes it all in stride. This is the second book in the series and the
tension is just beginning to get really taught. I highly recommend this series.
