Sarah just witnessed the death of mother. That sight is just another is long list of things she has seen that she suppresses into an internal box. She is now on the run but before she can escape the country she decides to help a man who is about to be caught by the Nazis. This leads to an uneasy relationship between the two. He is an Englishman trying to prevent the Nazis from building a nuclear weapon and he thinks he can use Sarah to infiltrate a professors house. How? Because she is blond she can pass as Aryan, go to a private school with the professor's daughter, and get invited to the house. Easy right? But the school is full of violence, her "uncle" gets shot, and when she finally gets to the house it is really a trap to satisfy the professor's sick fantasies.
I personally liked the book although the last 100 pages or so were quite disturbing. Up until then I might have considered the book for my library (6 - 8) but after that it is solidly YA.
