She always avoids the occupying Russian Cossak soldiers, who insist that everyone must become Russian - they have banned Lithuanian books, religion, culture, and even the language. But Audra knows her parents are involved in something secret and perilous. When Cossacks arrive abruptly at their door, Audra's parents insist she flee, taking with her an important package and instructions for where to deliver it. But escape means abandoning her parents to a terrible fate. As Audra embarks on a journey to deliver the mysterious package, she faces unimaginable risks, and soon she becomes caught up in a growing resistance movement. Can joining the underground network of book smugglers give Audra a chance to rescue her parents? New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen transports readers to a little-known corner of history with this extraordinary and inspiring story of a girl who discovers the power of language, the magic of words, the strength of her people united in resisting oppression, and the remarkable courage she holds within herself. -- From dust jacket. 820L lexile.
