Based on a true story. Milek and his brother, Munio, live in a sleepy village in Poland. Anton, an odd neighbour, speaks to animals, feeds the flies, and only eats vegetables, so most people call him the village fool. When the war brings Nazi soldiers to town rounding up Jewish boys like Milek and Munio, Anton worries about them and comes up with a plan to hide the whole family in his own home, putting his own life at risk. The back of the book outlines what happened to Anton and the others after the war. Winner of the 2014 Silver Birch Express Award and the 2014 Golden Oak Award. Grades 3-6. 2012.
