The narrative starts in 1938 and follows the children as they journey to foster families in England for the duration of the war, return to Prague afterward in an unsuccessful search for their parents, and eventually connect with Nicholas Winton, a British former stockbroker who was instrumental in bringing them to safety. Winton and the Czech Kindertransport ultimately rescued 669 children from Nazi persecution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Award-winning author Caren Stelson teams up with acclaimed illustrator Selina Alko to sensitively tell this tale of survival and defiance in the face of tyranny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caren Stelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541598687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541598683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolrhoda Books (R)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.27h x 9.59w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e521233 \/ Stars of the Night: The Courageous Children of the Czech Kindertransport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 pg. 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In Style","brand":"Caren Stelson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071632044287,"sku":"9781541598683","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b595c06-d621-49b6-8bad-285598f46c9c.jpg?v=1685437255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stars-of-the-night-caren-stelson-9781541598683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
