Beetle Bunker

In post-World War II Germany, tensions mount in Berlin, the former capital city now in Soviet-controlled territory but still governed in part by the western allies, creating an isolated enclave in a hostile land. Robert Elmer’s three-book generational series for kids unfolds against the backdrop of Cold War Berlin-gripping adventures in which three young teens, connected by family, faith, and friendship, struggle to hold on to life and each other, their lives brutally separated by the Berlin Wall. Time has passed, and life in a divided Germany seems almost normal. But life isn’t normal. Neighbors spy on each other, books are forbidden, and sometimes people disappear in the middle of the night … to the west. When Sabine discovers a forgotten underground bunker, she uses it as a sanctuary to escape her crowded home. Could it provide a way under the wall to freedom? Or is her family in terrible danger?
