WARSAW 1942

On a cold, dark night in Warsaw in 1942, the Balicki children watch in horror as Nazi Storm Troopers arrest their mother. Now they are alone. With the war raging around them, food and shelter are hard to come by. They live in constant fear.

Finally, they get word that their father is alive. He has made it to Switzerland. Edek and Ruth are determined to find him, though they know how dangerous the long trip from Warsaw will be. But they also know that if they don't make it, they may never see their parents again.

Their gripping story is taken from actual accounts.

Criticize About Books Escape from Warsaw

I adored this book as a child and I still adore it now. Maybe it was something to do with being the eldest child (with a younger brother and sister) that ensured I fully empathised with the main character Ruth, the would be teacher. Great characterisation and storytelling meant that it was a book I could not put down and also one I would re-read over and over again. For a book set in such a difficult context (WW2) I strangely found it a comforting read and would often turn to it when feeling fed

Found this on a list of children's classics, read with daughter (11). The story of a Polish family, broken apart in WWII. The first several chapters are about the father, who escapes from prison and heads for relatives in Switzerland after returning to a rubble-strewn Warsaw. While there, he doesn't find his family but does find a young boy, who takes a Silver Sword (really a letter opener) as a token to prove who he is should he find the other children. The rest of the story is about his three

I first read Ian Serrailliers novel The Silver Sword when I was 12. All these years later I had vague memories of what the story was about, but very vivid memories of having loved it. We read it in school and so it wasnt a book that Id actually come across elsewhere. One day, while perusing the selection at Book Closeouts I came across the book and decided to order it.

I never read this book as a child. It's a great story, a mix of adventure, history, the rudeness and the amazing serendipity of life and the beautiful people you meet along the way. The portrayal of the family bond was comforting.

Despite being set at the end of the Second World War, this is actually a very sweet story. Three children are on a mission to find their parents who were taken from them during the War, and they must face all sorts of struggles along their way. It's an incredible journey, where they meet many fascinating people who contribute to their journey.

Escape from Warsaw by Ian Serraillier, originally titled The Silver Sword, is the adventure story of a family which was separated during the war. Their father protests Nazi Germanys tyranny and is taken to a prison camp which he later escapes from. Their mother is taken away to work for the Nazis. This leaves Ruth, Edek, and little Bronia alone, trying to survive in a hostile land.Though based on true events, the characters were made up for the purposes of this story. It was quite interesting -

I honestly read this book so that I could pass it on - its cover is downright atrocious.Unfortunately - I liked it.Totally strange and somewhat jilted writing style, surprisingly good story. (BUT SO MEAN TO THE CHARACTERS. WHY. I mean, realism, but...)
