by Carolyn Coman Rob SheppersonWhen their parents are sent "up the river" for embezzlement, Ray and Ivy are left to live in the lap of luxury with Marietta Noland and her ancient husband, Lionel.

Suddenly, she must wear a yellow star, be inside by curfew, and cannot go back to school. And that&’s only the beginning. Her family is rounded up by Nazi soldiers.
