Notes

Description
When fighting breaks out in the south, Toda's father is sent there to defend his country, and when living in the city with her grandmother is no longer safe, she is sent across the border to be with her mother.
Description
"Toda's father has gone away to fight in the war. Luckily, he's read about camouflage and will be able to hide from the enemy by disguising himself as a bush. Toda is sent to stay with her mother where it'll be safer. Her journey across the border is full of danger and adventure, but she doesn't give up. She has to find her mother. A clear-eyed, funny, and off-beat novel about a girl making sense of a baffling world."--Page 4 of cover.
Language
Text primarily in English with some Dutch terms.
