The bombs were falling, the smoke was rising from the concentration camps, but Hitler’s daughter knew nothing of this. All she knew was the world of lessons with Fräulein Gelber; the hedgehogs she rescued from the cold and the exciting visits from her beloved father Duffi. Until the day she is taken to her father’s bunker in Berlin …
Anna’s story about Hitler’s daughter haunts Mark. Could it have been true? Did Hitler’s daughter really exist? If Mark had a father like Hitler, could he love him?

The hole was moving! The walls were falling down … There was a rope under his arms. There was a face above. An anxious face, yelling something down to him, something he didn’t understand. A strange face, with something wrong about the eyes. Tanned skin, unshaven, black hair a bit too long …
Joey knows there is a Japanese soldier hiding in the hills. It was a Japanese man, a soldier, who hauled him out of the mine shaft, who lit the fire to bring the searchers, and then disappeared. But nobody believes Joey. After all, it is World War II and children have nightmares … Joey knows he will have to find the soldier himself … he must find him … could he be part of an invasion force … could he be sending messages to waiting submarines?
Just shut your eyes and picture yourself walking around a corner. That’s what my friend told me. Somewhere around the corner you’ll be safe.
The demonstration was wild, out of control. Barbara was scared. She saw the policeman running towards her. She needed to escape. She closed her eyes and did precisely that: she walked somewhere around the corner … into another demonstration … another time.
Barbara was lucky—she met Young Jim who took her out of the strange, frightening city to his home. It was 1932, when Australia was in the grip of the Depression, and Jim lived in a shanty town …
But Barbara found a true friend and a true home—somewhere safe around the corner.
