About This Book

Read full description

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A stunning graphic novel edition of the award-winning debut novel from master storyteller Ruta Sepetys; a story of loss and of fear—and ultimately of survival—in a full-color adaptation perfect for fans of all ages. June, 1941. A knock comes at the door and the life of fifteen-year-old Lina Vilkas changes forever. She's arrested by the Soviet secret police and deported from Lithuania to Siberia with her mother and younger brother. The conditions are horrific and Lina must fight for her life and for the lives of those around her, including the boy that she loves. Risking everything, she secretly passes along clues in the form of drawings, hoping they will reach her father's prison camp. But will her messages, and her courage, be enough to reunite her family? Will they be enough to keep her alive?
