The sky over Rebecca
Fox, Matthew2022
Book
When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow, ten-year-old Kara must discover where they've come from and who they belong to. They lead Kara to Rebecca, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, and her younger brother Samuel. Kara realises they are refugees from another time, World War Two and are trying to find their way home. The grief and loneliness that Rebecca and Samuel have endured is something Kara can relate to, feeling like you're always on the outside looking in and she finds herself compelled to help them. Through her eyes, we rediscover the magic that lies in the world around us, if only we have the courage to look for it.
