They are alone, visited only furtively every few days by Mina, a mercurial girl who herself has found refuge from the war by living with a peasant family. She makes secret journeys and brings the boys parcels of food at her own risk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdam and Thomas must learn to survive and do. They forage and build a small tree house, although it's more like a bird's nest. Adam's family dog, Miro, manages to find his way to him, to the joy of both boys. Miro brings the warmth of home with him. Echoes of the war are felt in the forest. The boys meet fugitives fleeing for their lives and try to help them. They learn to disappear in moments of danger. And they barely survive winter's harshest weather, but when things seem to be at their worst, a miracle happens.","brand":"Appelfeld, Aharon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337200136466,"sku":"9781609807443","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/4008243482761_74576c48-8843-466e-817d-bff974b54725.jpg?v=1780435706","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/adam-thomas-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
