A Printz Award winner in 2003, this is really two intertwined stories. The story that takes place in modern times traces 19-year old American Jacob Todd through a visit to Amsterdam that changes everything he ever thought about his family and himself. The second story is about the Allied liberation of Holland from German occupation during WWII, and the relationships forged in wartime that have consequences to this day.No man's land. Politically, geographically, sexually, this is Jacob's journey of discovery, and his understanding of family and of self will never be the same.
