Johanna is a 14-year-old Jewish girl who lives in Hamburg, Germany, in the early 18th century. She feels stifled by the daily drudgery of her life and dreams of seeing what lies outside the confines of the Jewish quarter. Johanna lies about her identity and gets a job as a caregiver at an orphanage. Until it's too late, she doesn't realize a secret experiment is taking place that results in the deaths of babies.
Deciding to kidnap one of the orphans, Johanna sets off for Amsterdam. She faces many dangers on her journey, including plague, bandits, storms and, not least of all, anti-Semitism. Johanna has a lot of courage and determination, but will it be enough to save the baby and reach her destination? Will she finally find a place where she can be free?

Recenzii
“ Johanna is a compelling character, bright, determined and brave despite her many well-justified fears and worries. She is sustained by her faith and by her desire to see the world. She is quick to forgive and move on, always looking ahead to new possibilities…The middle school audience will be fascinated by 18th century prejudices and will root encouragingly for such a strong heroine.”
