Lost in Spain

Spanish Civil War 1936

Beschreibung

"Wilson offers a unique perspective on this fascinating era…even minor characters are brought to life." Library Journal Ted Ryan and his parents have a chance to escape the drudgery of the Depression in Canada for a holiday in Europe. Unfortunately, it is the summer of 1936 and Spain, where Ted longs to see a bullfight, is exploding in civil war. Swept up in the chaos, Ted finds himself alone and searching for his missing father. The only person who can help him is Dolores, a beautiful Spanish revolutionary who can explain what is going on, but who is in just as much danger as Ted as they travel across the war-torn countryside. "…replete with the constant menace of danger and death…Recommended." Canadian Book Review Annual "…moves along at a breakneck pace." CCL The Caught in Conflict Collection is an imprint of fast-paced, historically accurate, morally-complex quick reads for Teens and Adults.
