Set in Germany in 1945, this is the story of a boy, Hanno, and a girl, Effi. Hanno is on the run, having just seen his twin brother killed. Effi is streetwise. She has learned the hard way that she must keep her secrets to herself - and she's even less keen to trust Hanno when she finds out he is a policeman's son. But there are far more dangerous people on the road, Russian soldiers, German deserters - and Major Otto, who likes to play games with people before he kills them. This exceptional tale of courage, ingenuity, and the remarkable bonds formed during wartime will keep you gripped right up to the very last page.

The topics discussed by Wilson and Natale are those which they, as researchers and teachers in the field of moral education, have encountered most often over the last 30 years and which have provoked the most interesting questions and debates. Running through each of the essays is a picture of education in morality painted in strictly non-partisan and non-ideological terms: that is education in a form of thought or department of life that is common to all human beings, and not based on any particular set of moral, cultural, political or other ideological beliefs. With the complication of this volume, Wilson and Natale suggest that we are just beginning to take many issues in moral education with the seriousness they deserve.
