Audra's parents have kept her isolated from their dangerous doings. They are book smugglers. They try to get Lithuanian books into the hands of the people in spite of the ban and the danger. But when her parents are arrested Audra is thrown into the dangerous world of book smuggling. At first she doesn't understand it at all - she just wants her parents back. But soon she begins to understand the power of words and how they can save a culture.
This was full of action and a great historical piece little known to the general audience. It was hard at times to believe Audra was only 12 - kids won't mind the heroine but adults may feel it doesn't ring true.
