A magnificent narrative inspired by a true survival story that asks universal questions about a young girlās coming of age story, her identity, her passions, and her first loves.
At the SĆØvres Childrenās Home outside Paris, Rachel Cohen has discovered her passionāphotography. Although she hasnāt heard from her parents in months, she loves the people at her school, adores capturing what she sees in pictures, and tries not to worry too much about Hitlerās war. But as France buckles under the Nazi regime, danger closes in, and Rachel must change her name and go into hiding.
As Catherine Colin, Rachel Cohen is faced with leaving the SĆØvres Homeāand the friends she made thereābehind. But with her beautiful camera, Catherine possesses an object with the power to remember. For the rest of the war, Catherine bears witness to her own journey, and to the countless heroes whose courage and generosity saved the lives of many,Ā including her own.
Based on the authorās motherās own experiences as a hidden child in France during World War II, Catherineās War is one of the most accessible historical graphic novels featuring a powerful girl since Persepolis by Marjane Satrapiāperfect for fans of MarkusĀ Zusakās The Book Thief, Anne Frank, or Helen Keller.
