About How Huge the Night:
Fifteen-year-old Julien Losier just wants to fit in. But
after his family moves to a small village in central France in hopes of outrunning the
Nazis, he is suddenly faced with bigger challenges than the taunting of local teens.
Nina Krenkel left her country to obey her father's dying command: Take your
brother and leave Austria.
Burn your papers. Tell no one you are Jews. Alone and on the run, she arrives
in Tanieux, France, dangerously ill and in
despair.
Thrown together by the chaos of war, Julien begins to feel
the terrible weight of the looming conflict and Nina fights to survive. As France falls to
the Nazis, Julien struggles with doing what is right, even if it is not
enough-and wonders whether or not he really can save Nina from almost certain
death.
Based on the true story of the town of Le Chambon-the only
French town honored by Israel for rescuing Jews from the Holocaust-How Huge the
Night is a compelling, coming-of-age drama that will keep teens turning the
pages as it teaches them about a fascinating period of history and inspires
them to think more deeply about their everyday choices.

About the Munn's:
Heather Munn was born in Northern
Ireland and grew up in southern France where her parents were
missionaries like their parents before them. She has a BA in literature from Wheaton College
and now lives in a Christian intentional community in rural Illinois, where she and her husband, Paul,
host free spiritual retreats for the poor, especially those transitioning out
of homelessness or addiction. When not writing or hosting, she works on the
communal farm.
Lydia Munn, daughter of missionary parents, grew up in Brazil. She
received a BA in literature from Wheaton
College, and an MA in
Bible from Columbia Graduate School of Bible and Missions. With her
husband, Jim, she has worked in church planting and Bible teaching since 1983,
notably in St. Etienne, near the small town in the central mountains of France which
forms the background of How Huge the Night. The Munns now live in Grenoble, France.

Hey, I'd be curious to know what you thought of the book, even if life has gotten in the way of your writing a full review... if you feel like dropping me a note at my name at yahoo.com.
Thanks for the handy list of blogs with links; I actually ended up using your blog as a "base" to check out all the other blogs from, because Litfuse's site has a list of blogs but without links.
