Berlin, 1933. Thousands of books are fed to the flames--including the mysterious Gypsy Book. Young Liesl secretly saves it from the ashes, never imagining how deeply it will change her life. Ten years later, in the grip of Nazi Germany, Liesl opens the forbidden book and discovers a hidden world that awakens her conscience. As the call to resist grows stronger, she must decide whether she is willing to risk everything--including those she loves.
The Gypsy Book is a collection of reminiscences penned by an old Gypsy long since passed. Appearing mysteriously at turning points in world history, its wisdom and moral clarity awaken the consciences of those who encounter it. This mysterious book forms the thread that connects each volume in this exciting series, which can be read in any order.
