What’s Wolfie Hebert to do when his parents vanish into the chaos of a war, leaving him behind, injured, terrified and alone? Courage and salvation come from the strangest places: a very special suit and a very unlikely friendship.

In the final months of WWII, with Hitler’s empire collapsing around them, Wolfie, an eleven-year-old German boy, teams up with Yoska, a teenage Gypsy, on a long, dangerous journey to find their lost families. Danger greets them at every turn: former concentration camp guards, enemy soldiers, fire, and a devious farmer. 

But Wolfie has a suit, a gift from his scientist father, that contains powers he is only just beginning to understand. But perhaps it’s what  he learned from his street-wise mother that will prove to be the greatest gift of all.
