by Vivian Vande Velde (Author)

Lisette Beaucaire was angry when her parents sent her away from Paris that September day in 1940. And although she knew that with the Nazis occupying the city she'd be safer at her Aunt Josephine's farm in the Dordogne valley, Lisette resented her "exile." She'd miss her friends and the excitement of being thirteen and starting a new school. Instead she'd have nothing to do but amuse her little cousin Cecile. That's what Lisette thought, but she soon found out that she wasn't the only visitor at the farmhouse. And then she encountered Gerard, a visitor from a long time ago, who proved to be a valiant ally at a crucial moment for the people who lived in the farmhouse.


But the farmhouse holds more secrets than she can imagine--and the coming evil will test them all.


  • An Unforgettable Historical Setting: Step into 1940 Nazi-occupied France, where a Parisian girl discovers that the quiet countryside is far from safe.
  • A Courageous Act of Resistance: Lisette's aunt isn't just running a farm--she's harboring Jewish and Gypsy children, and her secret puts everyone in mortal danger.
  • A Ghost Story with Heart: When Lisette meets Gerard, a mysterious boy from centuries past, she finds an unlikely friend and a powerful ally against the darkness.
  • A Test of Courage: Annoyed by her "exile" and her cousin Cecile, Lisette must grow up fast to protect the innocent and confront a terrible evil.
