My new book is Hunger Winter: a World War II  Novel, for History or Language Arts Grades 4-8.

The setting is 1944 in the Netherlands. Dirk's father left to fight the Nazis. Then Dirk's mother passed away. When the Gestapo snatched his older sister, thirteen-year-old Dirk had to flee his home in the middle of the night. He left with his pockets stuffed with food, his little sister asleep in his arms, and his heart heavy with a dark secret. His challenge was to stay one step ahead of the Nazis, lead his little sister to safety, and find their father.
