Warsaw, 1942. Sixteen-year-old Mira smuggles food into the Warsaw ghetto to keep herself and her family alive. When she discovers that the entire ghetto is to be “liquidated”—killed or “resettled” to concentration camps—she desperately tries to find a way to save her family. She meets a group of young people who are planning the unthinkable: an uprising against the occupying forces. Mira joins the resistance fighters who, with minimal supplies and weapons, end up holding out longer against the SS than anyone had thought possible. Much longer. For twenty-eight days. During this time, Mira has to decide where her heart belongs. To Amos, who wants to take as many Nazis as he can with him to the grave? Or to Daniel, who wants to help the orphans in the shelter? These are twenty-eight days in which Mira experiences moments of great humanity, betrayal, suffering, and even moments of happiness.
