description: Having escaped from the eastern European concentration camp where he has spent most of his life, a twelve-year-old boy struggles to cope with an entirely strange world as he flees northward to freedom in Denmark. “[ North to Freedom ] is, to my mind, the single finest novel ever written for children of about ages 9 to 13.”-- School Library Journal
