»Jetzt ist es soweit«, rief die Mutter nervös. »Wir müssen weg. Heute Abend müssen wir auf dem Bahnhof sein. Wir werden in den Westen gebracht.« Achim verstand nicht, worum es ging. Er war ja auch erst sechs Jahre alt. Werner aber wußte, was das bedeutete: Die Stadt würde bald beschossen werden. Deshalb sollten vorher alle Frauen mit Kindern und alle Alten und Kranken fortgebracht werden.
Gudrun Pausewang (1928 - 2020) was a German writer of children's and teen fiction, also noted in science fiction for young-adult novels like The Last Children of Schewenborn.
Pausewang was born in Eastern Bohemia of German ancestry and after World War II her family settled in the former West Germany. She later became a teacher and taught in Germany's foreign school services in South America. She has written 86 novels with many of them involving the Third World and environmental concerns.
She has won several awards, including the German Federal Cross of Merit, the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis and the Kurd-Laßwitz-Preis for The Cloud in 1988.
A perfect book to read if you want to know how two boys survived with little food and a long road in front of them. If you know how to speak german and you feel you have to emprove your german, I just simply recomand to read it in german. Even if you don‘t understand everything.
