Aimed at a YA audience this is a war story that is different. It is set in Russia as the Nazi army invades and Leningrad is besieged. Nadya and Viktor are true children of Communist Russia now led by Stalin. And yet - when they are separated (they are twins) uncomfortable truths emerge. Told through their diaries now a dossier in the hands of a government department, it is engrossing - and exciting. Highly recommended
