We Were the Lucky Ones
Summary
New York Times Best Seller Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family separated at the start of World War II, determined to survive - and to reunite - We Were the Lucky Ones is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds. “Love in the face of global adversity? It couldn't be more timely.” (Glamour) It is the spring of 1939, and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable, and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety. As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death, either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that they may never see one another again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. An extraordinary, propulsive novel, We Were the Lucky Ones demonstrates how in the face of the 20th century’s darkest moment, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.

Sur les ailes de la chance
Summary
Si la vie était une question de probabilité, la famille Kurc n'aurait pas dû survivre à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Seul 1 % des juifs de leur ville de Radom, en Pologne, a survécu, et 90 % des juifs du pays ont été massacrés. Sur les ailes de la chance raconte l'extraordinaire histoire de cette famille. Séparés par six années de guerre et cinq continents, des jazz clubs du Paris des années 30 au Rio de Janeiro de l'après-guerre en passant par le goulag sibérien et le ghetto de Varsovie, les héros de ce roman choral sont poussés par la même rage de survivre et l'espoir, immense, qu'un jour, ils seront à nouveau réunis. À l'âge de quinze ans, Georgia Hunter a appris qu'elle appartenait à une famille de survivants de l'Holocauste - un véritable choc pour cette jeune Américaine du Connecticut. Sur les ailes de la chance est né de la quête qu'elle a menée depuis lors pour remonter le fil de cette histoire familiale extraordinaire. Ce roman, fruit d'un méticuleux et tentaculaire travail de recherche, a immédiatement connu un immense succès international.

Yubi and the Blue-Tailed Rat
Summary
Yubi flees the Kingdom of Lavendula with three objects in his satchel and an old hag's song repeating in his head. On a quest to solve the mystery of the ancient laws and save the princess, he is pursued by ruthless Cross-eyed Org through the dark canals of Venice and beyond. His unusual cohort, Alex, a rat with more than just a blue tail, crisscrosses the story like the galleons on the high seas and provides a surprise ending. Yubi and the Blue-tailed Rat is an adventure story with simple, yet beautifully descriptive language suitable for girls and boys ages nine to 15. The vocabulary, sentence length, and complexity of story would be excellent for reluctant YA listeners or students of English.
