BARTOLETTI, SUSAN CAMPBELL THE BOY WHO DARED
It's morning. Soft gray light slips over the tall redbrick wall. It stretches across the exercise yard and reaches through the high, barred windows. In a cell on the ground floor, the light shifts dark shapes into a small stool, a scrawny table, and a bed made of wooden boards with no mattress or blanket. On that bed, a thin, huddled figure, Helmuth, a boy of seventeen, lies awake. Shivering. Trembling.
It's Tuesday. The executioner works on Tuesday.
The story of a Hitler Youth who begins to question the atrocities happening around him and then does something about it.

HEHNER, BARABARS THE TUNNEL KING : THE TRUE STORY OF WALLY FLOODY AND
THE GREAT ESCAPE
The Great Escape was one of the most daring prisoner of war breakouts of the Second World War. Yet few Canadians know the heroic story of Wally Floody. Wally was a Canadian figher pilot, imprisoned in Stalag Luft III, who was a key figure -- the Tunnel King -- in the carefully planned escape. Wally -- who had worked as a miner before the war -- knew the best way out was to tunnel underground.

HALILBEGOVICH, NADJA
MY CHILDHOOD UNDER FIRE :A SARAJEVO 
DIARY
DIARY "Bombs are exploding all over the city. I hide my feelings from everyone, but I am drowning in despair. When will this war end? For how long will my life consist of the dead space between two explosions?" Twelve-year old Nadja's life changed forever after the seige of her beautiful mountain-ringed city of Sarajevo. With constant tank and sniper fire, daily life was full of fear. Without reliable electricity, water or medical supplies, Nadja and her fellow citizens tried desperately to live normal lives while forced to scrounge for even the most basic necessities. This diary, covering the years 1992-5 is a monument to the thousands killed during the siege of Sarajevo and the millions of children around the world who still live -- and die -- under fire.
