Brussels, 1943. Twelve-year-old street orphan Helene survives by living as a boy and selling copies of the country's most popular newspaper, Le Soir, now turned into Nazi propaganda. Helene's entire world changes when she befriends a rogue journalist, Marc Aubrion, who draws her into a secret network publishing dissident underground newspapers. Aubrion's unbridled creativity and linguistic genius attract the attention of August Wolff, a high-ranking Nazi official tasked with swaying public opinion against the Allies. Wolff captures Aubrion and his comrades and gives them an impossible choice: use the newspaper to paint the Allies as monsters, or be killed. Faced with no decision at all, Aubrion has a brilliant idea: they will pretend to do the Nazis' bidding, but instead they will publish a fake edition of Le Soir that pokes fun at Hitler and Stalin-giving power back to the Belgians by daring to laugh in the face of their oppressors. The ventriloquists have agreed to die for a joke, and they have only eighteen days to tell it. Told with dazzling scope, taut prose and devastating emotion, The Ventriloquists illuminates the extraordinary acts of courage by ordinary people forgotten by history-unlikely heroes who went to extreme lengths to orchestrate the most stunning feat of journalism in modern history. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Street children $v Fiction. $0 (DLC)sh2010114831 650 0 $a Journalists $v Fiction. $0 (DLC)sh2008106063 650 0 $a Underground newspapers $v Fiction. $0 (DLC)sh 96010278 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. $0 (DLC)sh 87008024 651 0 $a Brussels (Belgium) $v Fiction. $0 (DLC)n 79013830 700 1 $a Peterson, Nancy, $e narrator. $0 (DLC)n 81000615 710 2 $a Hoopla digital. $0 (local)tlcaut3486303200593150 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12364857?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. $9 (TLCitem18) 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9781488206771_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94E54176F31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
