The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier

The silver sword sword is about a family of poles who are separated during the war.There are lots of different stories but it mainly revolves around the childrens' quest to get to Switzerland. On the way they meet Jan who has also met Joseph (their father) Jan is a thief although he dos not like to admit it. They also meet a variety of other characters on their journey such as Ivan the Russian sentry, Bistro the escaped monkey,Joe the Truck driver,Herr and Frau Wolff,Ludwig the dog and many more,but Jans love of animals sometimes lands him in trouble as the story spirals towards a twist ending .It will be a very long journey to Switzerland and the Nazis are always just one step behind them.

I thought the book was a good read and I would recommend it to anyone.
