Neuware - Winner of the 2025 Western Canada Jewish Book Award Diamond Foundation PrizeHolocaust survivors are depicted as more than just victims in this historical fiction novel for middle grade readers.Inspired by a true story, and told in two different time periods, Friends to the Rescue takes place in Fossa, Italy, a small mountain village that offered refuge to Jews during World War II. When the village suffered a devastating earthquake 65 years later, the Jewish refugees whom the town had helped traveled to Fossa to return the favor.

Their young daughter Sara and Roberto became the closest of friends but lost touch after the war. It would take an emergency to bring them back together. Mutton, Alison (illustrator).…
