Two Suns in the Sky by Miriam Bat-Ami - Paperback Fiction

During World War II, a 15-year-old girl meets a young Jewish refugee in a New York shelter and soon learns the history behind her city through interaction with her new friend, as well as the barriers that exist when different cultures unite. Winner of the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction.

"Bat-Ami realistically frames questions about tolerance and its absence," said Publishers Weekly of this novel set in 1944 Oswego, N.Y., where America's only refugee camp is set up to accommodate Jews fleeing Europe. Adam, a 15-year-old Yugoslav Jew, begins a romance with a local girl. Ages 12-up.
