Summary:

It is September 1943, and fourteen-year-old Claudette Blum and her family are scrambling over the Alps towards Italy, where they hope to find safety now that the Italians have broken with Germany and made a separate peace with the Allies. But it is anything but peaceful, as seemingly overnight it becomes an open battleground for the Nazis, the Allies, resistance fighters, Jews in hiding, and Italian civilians trying to survive.
