Master storyteller Sonya Hartnett crafts a magical and moving fable about war and redemption . . . and what it means to be free.When the Germans attack their Romany encampment during World War II, Andrej and his younger brother, Tomas, flee through a ravaged countryside under cover of darkness, guarding a secret bundle. Their journey leads to a bombed-out town, where the boys discover a hidden wonder: a zoo filled with creatures in need of hope. Like Andrej and Tomas, the animals--wolf and eagle, monkey and bear, lioness and seal, kangaroo and llama-- have stories to share and a mission to reclaim their lives.

The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett is a touching story about two Gypsy boys who escape with their baby sister when the Nazis round up their family and take them away. (Although the setting is World War II, the setting could also be anywhere in the world where there is war, today or fifty years ago.)...

A beautifully written, moving and thoughtful fable about war, hope and freedom. Hartnett is one of the most gifted writers of children's and young adult fiction and this wonderful novel is another example of her remarkable talent.
