""Gut wrenching yet inspirational story of 3 Jewish children left on their own in Berlin when their parents are taken off to the camps."" Debbi B, Reviewer on Netgalley ""This book had me hooked! I raced through it, and it felt much shorter than 248 pages. Despite this being my most read genre, I hadn't heard of ""Operation Swedish Furniture"", so as well as being an addictive, nail biting story, it was also educational."" Charlotte L, Reviewer on Netgalley ""This is unputdownable historical fiction. The author has knocked another one out of the park! This novel focuses on the efforts of Resistance workers to get three orphaned siblings safely away from the Nazi regime."" Stephanie F, Reviewer on Netgalley
