Comprehension-based™ Reader
Emilia's father must go into hiding during the Spanish Civil War and it is up to the whole family to keep him safe.
Level 4 / Intermediate Low — Intermediate High
Overview
Growing up in a Republican family during Franco’s fascist rule of Spain, Emilia Matamoros discovers just how important keeping a secret can be. After her father, a former captain in the Republican army, goes into hiding, Emilia not only must work as a seamstress to support her family, but she must also guard a secret that will protect her father and save her family from certain death. Will her innocence be lost and will she succumb to the deceptive and violent tactics of Franco’s fascist regime?
