About this ebook
Amid the chilling rise of Hitler’s Germany, twelve-year-old refugee siblings navigate Nazi propaganda and rising violence in this fourth book in the action-packed middle grade series The Web of the Spider, for fans of I Survived and Alan Gratz.
Twins Mathilda and Moritz are no strangers to hardship. Before they lived in Germany, they grew up in Ukraine surrounded by community before being forced to flee from hunger and persecution. It was a journey of cold nights and few allies, but it seemed worth it to arrive safely at their uncle’s home in Heroldsberg. Now they’re helping their father run the town bookshop, though few people have money to spend on books these days.
Mathilda and Moritz are accustomed to scraping by, but the increasingly violent Nazi presence in town is eerily reminiscent of the Soviet government they left behind. Amid the rise of yet more dangerous propaganda, the twins are once again forced to consider who they can trust and what they would do to protect their home and one another.
