Shadow Of The Wall

It's spring 1942, and life in the Warsaw ghetto is hard and often brutal with the Jews subject to beatings and execution at the lands of the hated SS. Young Misha lives at the Orphans' Home run by the heroic Dr. Korczak. But the time is fast approaching when Misha must prove himself a hero too. . .

Reviews

A writer of wild humour

—— Oxford Companion to Children's Literature

Emil is a wonder... the book had, and still has, the effect of making me feel part of Emil's little gang of boys... Emil and the Detectives is a little masterpiece... Read it and you will be happy

—— Maurice Sendak

The main pleasure of the book is in the way in which it plays to the fantasy of omnipotence in a child: that a team of kids could really organise themselves into a team of detectives and catch a thief

—— Michael Rosen , Guardian

The perfect introduction to the world of fictional crime detection

—— Independent

Robert Swindells writes the kinds of books that are so scary you're afraid to turn the page
