The advent of the Wall

Heidi’s thirteenth birthday is coming up, but she’s disappointed — her mother is pregnant and refuses to make the once a year summer discuss with to Heidi’s grandmother. What’s more, it is 1961 and the government is cracking down on border crossers, people who work in the West but live in the East. Heidi’s father is a border crosser, and her best friend, Petra, has been forbidden to see Heidi until her father finds a new job in East Berlin. Heidi feels betrayed. Then, as political tension mounts, her parents tell her they’re secretly moving West, and Heidi will have to commute on my own to get her grandmother. But how can she do it without Petra’s assist?

The writer captures all of the terror of the time in her gripping story of an indomitable heroine who steals across the Berlin border by facing her greatest fear.
