Description
Twelve-year-old Lidia's life changes forever when Nazi planes fly overhead, bearing the German cross. Her father joins the Polish army to fight against the Nazis, and Lidia wants to follow him into war, but she's too young. After her family returns to Warsaw, Lidia finds comfort in music and helps smuggle food into the Warsaw Ghetto. She begins working as a courier, smuggling weapons and messages for the resistance throughout the city. When the Warsaw city uprising starts, Lidia joins the fight, using everything she has to help defeat the German soldiers. Life is full of surprises for Lidia and the resistance fighters as they do their best to overcome the German occupation.
