Enemy's Daughter, (Hardcover)

<b>In the spirit of Lauren Wolk and Ruta Sepetys comes the tale of a girl fighting her way back home after surviving the sinking of the<i> Lusitania</i>--and learning to think for herself rather than accept the prejudice of wartime.</b> <p>The year is 1915 and the world is at war. Marta and her father are passengers on the <i>Lusitania</i>, desperately trying to get back home to Germany. While aboard, they must keep their identities hidden or risk being mistaken for enemy spies. Then the <i>Lusitania</i> is attacked by a German submarine. They just make it off the sinking ship, but her father is discovered and detained. Marta suddenly finds herself alone in enemy land. </p><p>To survive, Marta must draw upon a deep well of bravery she never knew she had. Fortunately, she meets Clare, a young Irish girl who can talk a mile a minute, and her kind family. Believing that Marta is a Dutch refugee, they welcome her into their home. She can't risk letting her new friends know she's actually from Germany--the very nation that the Irish and English are fighting against. But could these people who have shown her nothing but kindness truly be her enemy? </p><p>Sweeping from the Irish Sea to a cathedral city in England, this story shows us that friendship, especially in times of war, may be the greatest gift of all.</p>
