Song of a Blackbird by Maria Van Lieshout
Annick knows her grandmother, her Oma, is very sick, and she's hoping that Oma's siblings will be a bone marrow match for her. But when the test results show something surprising, it leads Annick back to a dark time in her Oma's life. A time when the Nazis controlled her country of the Netherlands and how prints that have hung on the walls of Oma's home for years, just might be the way back to that time and solving the mystery of what happened to Oma's biological family.
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
