A Night Divided - Jennifer A. Nielsen
This book is a great book, I started and finished it in one day (it was that good).
Genre: Historical Fiction - Cold War time period
Pages: 300 range
Main Character: Gerta - Age 12
Summary:
With the rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve-year-old Gerta finds her family suddenly divided. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city.
But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom?

5 books
My Written Rating:
I thought that it was really good. there were many chapters but they were pretty short. I suggest this book to anyone that like historical fiction. I will also have book lists by genre, grade, author, and "If you liked this book...."
