It′s 1939, and for Georg, son of an English academic living in Germany, life is full of cream cakes and loving parents. It is also a time when his teacher measures the pupils′ heads to see which of them have the most ′Aryan′- shaped heads. But when a university graduation ceremony turns into a pro-Nazi demonstration, Georg is smuggled out of Germany to war-torn London and then across enemy seas to Australia where he must forget his past and who he is in order to survive. Hatred is contagious, but Georg finds that kindness can be, too. The companion piece to Hitler's Daughter, Pennies for Hitler examines the life of a child during World War II, from a different perspective.©2012 Jackie French (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Croissance Discussions difficiles Fiction historique Grandir Littérature Discrimination Fiction Guerre

Ce que les critiques en disent

'Evocatively written, Pennies is a gentle gem.' (Sydney Morning Herald)
'Jackie French's research and subsequent feeling for the era is superb (the descriptions of wartime Australia alone are fascinating). This is historical fiction at its best and thoroughly recommended for upper primary children and beyond.' (Australian Bookseller & Publisher)
'This striking fiction for school-age readers gives an unflinching view of war and a close-up human perspective on asylum seekers.' (The Age)
