Faraway Island


Faraway Island by Annika Thor

It is World War II, and Stephie and Nellie have been sent to Sweden by their parents to escape the Nazis. Moved into separate homes, Nellie adjusts much more quickly than Stephie, who struggles to keep her promise to her mother to look after her younger sister. Stephie also struggles with bullies at school and feeling of not belonging, and she can’t help feeling that she will never see her parents again. Stephanie’s story continues in The Lily Pond.
