There was a single trail of footprints the first Id seen all morning They were fresh tracks I saw the edges of the impressions in the snow quite hard Small feet Like mine Someone my age
Then they stopped
When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow tenyearold Kara must discover where theyve come from and who they belong to They lead Kara to Rebecca a thirteenyearold Jewish girl and her younger brother Samuel Kara realises they are refugees from another time World War Two and are trying to find their way home
The grief and loneliness that Rebecca and Samuel have endured is something Kara can relate to feeling like youre always on the outside looking in and she finds herself compelled to help them Through her eyes we rediscover the magic that lies in the world around us if only we have the courage to look for it
