Christopher, son of the Danish Prime Minister, is kidnapped by Mr. Møller, a political opponent who wants to take Denmark out of NATO. Unfortunately, Mr. Møller's muddled idealism makes him play straight into the hands of the Red Brigade. They take Christopher and Mr. Møller's son as hostage for his silence. When the terrorists fail in their ransom demand, Christopher is only too aware that death will be the consequence and that they must escape.

‘You must get away tonight,’ the man had told him. David escapes from the concentration camp where he has spent his entire life and flees across Europe. He is utterly alone – who can he trust? What will await him? And all the while, how can he be sure that they won’t catch up with him . . . This is the remarkable story of David’s introduction to the world: sea, mountains and flowers, the colours of Italy, the taste of fruit, people laughing and smiling, all are new to David. David learns that his polite manner, his haunted eyes and his thin features are strange to other people. He must learn to fend for himself in this strange new world. This is The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas meets Jonathan Safran Foer for children. An incredible story of survival against all odds and self discovery.
