The Last Train from Warsaw: A Boy's Race Against Time

Warsaw, 1942. Twelve-year-old Jakub has one chance to escape—and his parents may have to sacrifice everything to give it to him.

When Jakub is sent alone aboard the last train he can take out of Warsaw that night, he carries a secret parcel his father has ordered him to protect at all costs. Somewhere beyond the occupied city, a hidden network is waiting for it. But reaching them means surviving checkpoints, suspicious strangers, German patrols, and a journey for which no child could ever be prepared.

Jakub has been taught to observe carefully, trust cautiously, and remember what matters. Now those lessons may keep him alive.

Yet as the people he meets risk their own safety to help him, Jakub begins to discover that courage isn't the same as facing danger alone.

With the enemy closing in and his parents' fate uncertain, Jakub must finish the journey they began—and decide whom he can trust along the way.

A moving historical novel of courage, sacrifice, family, and the ordinary people who risk everything to protect one another.
