David
David by Anne Holm
David is in a concentration camp but is not Jewish...noone knows why he is there. A guard helps him escape and sends him towards Denmark. David is scared and starving but determined to run to safety.
Luckily (!) Daivd speaks French like a nobleman, Italian like a nobleman, English like an Oxford scholar (you get the idea). He can also read most languages, write a little, and has impeccable manners. He meets both helpful people and unhelpful people in his run. David believes very strongly that he can tell a person's good/bad by looking into their eyes and watching a few seconds of interaction. He makes his way to Denmark and along the way finds the ability to smile and the secret to his family.
Too perfect, too good.
