They are alone, visited only furtively every few days by Mina, a mercurial girl who herself has found refuge from the war by living with a peasant family. She makes secret journeys and brings the boys parcels of food at her own risk. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdam and Thomas must learn to survive and do. They forage and build a small tree house, although it's more like a bird's nest. Adam's family dog, Miro, manages to find his way to him, to the joy of both boys. Miro brings the warmth of home with him. Echoes of the war are felt in the forest. The boys meet fugitives fleeing for their lives and try to help them. They learn to disappear in moments of danger. And they barely survive winter's harshest weather, but when things seem to be at their worst, a miracle happens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triangle Square\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609807443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e182015 \/ Adam \u0026amp; Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aharon Appelfeld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44413637394613,"sku":"9781609807443","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b2ab414e-897b-4247-8bc8-a863bd2d58a9.jpg?v=1720538067","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/adam-and-thomas-9781609807443","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
