De taler om forelskelser, barnefødsler og andre livsbegivenheder og gør deres bedste for at fokusere på alt andet end den krig, der nærmer sig fra vest. Men snart spredes familien for alle vinde for hver især at finde en vej i sikkerhed for rædslerne i de europæiske koncentrationslejre. En tvinges i eksil, en anden forsøger at flygte fra kontinentet, mens andre kæmper for at undgå den visse død ved at arbejde umenneskeligt hårdt i ghettoens fabrikker, eller slet og ret udgive sig for ikke at være jøde. Kurc-familien er drevet af en ubændig trang til at overleve og frygten for aldrig at se hinanden igen, og med kun håb, opfindsomhed og indre styrke som våben kæmper de sig frem gennem nogle af de mørkeste år i det tyvende århundrede.Da forfatteren Georgia Hunter var femten år gammel, fandt hun ud af at hun er efterkommer af polske jøder. Dette er fortællingen om hendes ophav, og om en hel generation af polske jøder, hvoraf kun de allerheldigste overlevede og måtte læge deres sår, begræde det mistede og skabe en ny tilværelse for dem selv og deres familier.

    It is the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety. As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death, either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that they may never see one another again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. An extraordinary, propulsive novel, We Were the Lucky Ones demonstrates how in the face of the twentieth century's darkest moment, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.

    Yubi flees the Kingdom of Lavendula with three objects in his satchel and an old hag's song repeating in his head. On a quest to solve the mystery of the ancient laws and save the princess, he is pursued by ruthless Cross-eyed Org through the dark canals of Venice and beyond. His unusual cohort, Alex, a rat with more than just a blue tail, crisscrosses the story like the galleons on the high seas and provides a surprise ending.'Yubi and the Blue-tailed Rat' is an adventure story with simple, yet beautifully descriptive language suitable for girls and boys ages nine to fifteen. The vocabulary, sentence length, and complexity of story would be excellent for reluctant YA readers or students of English.
