WINNER OF THE CARNEGIE MEDAL "Masterfully crafted."--The Wall Street Journal "Brutal. Beautiful. Honest."--Sabaa Tahir, New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes "A rich, page-turning story that brings to vivid life a terrifying--and little-known--moment in World War II history." --Steve Sheinkin, author of Newbery Honor and National Book Award finalist Bomb World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, many with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer to safety. But just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes.
