When the Germans invade Greece, World War II finally becomes a reality to sibling rivals Petros and Zola and causes them to put their childish games aside, serve together as resistance fighters, and use the skills they acquired in boyhood competitions to succeed in their dangerous missions ahead. - Random House, Inc.
Based on a true story of World War II.
For 12-year-old Petros, World War II feels unreal and far away. Whatâs real is working in his papaâs garden. Playing marbles with his friends. Fighting with his older brother, Zola. Zola, who must always be first. Who must always be best. But when the Germans invade Greece, the war suddenly comes impossibly close. Overnight, neighbors become enemies. People begin to keep secrets (Petrosâs family most of all). And for the first time, Petros has the chance to show Zola that heâs not just a little brother but that he can truly be counted on. Soon what were once just boysâ games become matters of life and death as Petros and Zola each wonder if, like their resistance fighter cousin, they too can make a difference.
