KINDERLAND — Robin James

A RIP-ROARING STORY. VIOLENT AND POSITIVELY BRUTAL IN PLACES... IT'S EDGE OF THE SEAT STUFF FROM THE FIRST PAGE TO THE LAST! Rupert Colley (author of Woman on the Train and The Black Maria) 'KINDERLAND' is unflinching and cinematic historical fiction. In war-torn Germany, 1941, teenager Sebastian is evacuated to rural Poland for his own safety, only to find himself enduring a daily fight for survival in a Hitler Youth camp where abuse and brutalisation are a way of life. After witnessing the murder of his best friend, Sebastian enacts a daring escape into the icy wilderness, and is only saved from certain death by a group of refugee Romanies. Sebastian gradually wins the trust of his rescuers, along with a beautiful young girl called Mirela. But when a platoon of German Soldiers discover the Romani camp and take everyone prisoner, so begins an epic journey of survival that will take Sebastian right to the heart of one of the darkest chapters in European history.
