From The Wolf's Den by Kirsty Campbell
Set during WWII, Stefan Gundelach, a six-year-old boy is forced to flee his hometown of Pankow, Berlin after Gestapo officers destroy the Jewish Orphanage he lives in during Kristallnacht. The owner, Frank Falkenberg, sends the orphaned boys via Kindertransport to live in Britain to stay with foster families, to work on farms or to stay at boarding schools.

Stefan is sent to live at the Grimley Institute For Boys, a boarding school situated in Gravesend, Kent, but is lost for words when he discovers that his best friend from the orphanage, Jens Wintermeyer, won't be accompanying him but instead joining a foster family in London.

Whilst at the Institute, Stefan is bullied by two older boys, Eugene and Billy, who constantly taunt him with racial and abusive slurs and he is continuously abused by Ebenezer Finch, the mysterious and sinister owner of the school who strongly disapproves of his German and Jewish culture. Unbeknownst to Stefan though, it's not only him who suffers at the hand of this evil man.

Stefan's loneliness and the abuse he faces torments him greatly whilst living at the Institute, but things begin to look up when he forms close friendships with a fellow student, a Land Girl and even his English teacher, Harry Marlowe, who puts everything on the line to keep Stefan safe, but his reasoning behind his protective actions is far more complex than what first meets the eye. Harry has a dark and secretive past of his own.

Just as things begin to look up, everything takes a turn for the worst when war strikes. The blitz begins in London and bombs are dropped all over the country, leaving devastation at every turn, but those who survive it will bear their scars forever...
