With the same attention to detail and straightforward writing style readers have come to appreciate from her, Deborah Hopkinson looks at how the rescue operation of Jewish children from Nazi occupied Europe, known as the Kindertransport, was able to saved approximately 10,000 young people.

Synopsis: Noah Livingston knows he is destined to survive.
The 64 members of Fire Lake's sophomore class are trapped in a place where morals have no meaning, and zero rules apply. But Noah's deaths have trained him--hardened him--to lead the strongest into the future . . . whatever that may be. And at any cost.
Min Wilder knows that survival alone isn't enough.

But Min's instincts rebel against allowing others to decide who lives and who dies. She's ready to fight for what she believes in. And against whomever might stand in her way.
Tens List: Top Ten Interesting Facts About Me
1. I have a mild phobia about cakes. I don’t like being near them. I hate cake but people always try to make you eat some, it so I just avoid the substance entirely.
2. I have two cats and two dogs that wage a silent, ceaseless war against each other in my house. The cats, always, always, always win because cats are smart and pure evil.
3. I once lived a cruise ship that traveled around the world. I did this for a year in sixth grade. It was amazing. I skipped school to do this, which was also amazing.
4. I wrote a series of book with my mom called Virals, which was a spin-off of the TV show Bones, which was based on my mother’s Temperance Brennan book series. It was cool.
5. In high school a modeling scout once told me I had a perfect chin. I will never stop telling people this.
6. I get told I look like Bill Paxton a lot, but they used to be referring to young Bill from Aliens, whereas now I suspect they mean old Bill from Apollo 13 where he’s dying of pneumonia in space. RIP Big Bill.
7. I hate clowns. Clowns are the worst.
8. I co-wrote a middle grade book with the great Ally Condie that will release in the October called The Darkdeep. We are insanely excited about it. Think The Goonies meets Stranger Things.
9. There will be a third Project Nemesis book releasing in Spring 2019. The name and cover will be revealed at The BookCon this summer, so stay tuned!
10. Genesis has been called a technological retelling of Lord of the Flies and I think that fits. Read on, but I warn you—it gets dark. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
