About this episode
The episode features Rob Currie discussing his novel 'Hunger Winter', a story set during the Dutch famine of World War II.
Hunger Winter: A World War II Novel is the thrilling story of one boy's quest to find his father and protect his younger sister during the great Dutch famine of World War II! "Sometimes you have to take a chance, because it’s the only chance you have." Hunger Winter is intended for children between fourth and eighth grade. Kirkus Reviews calls the novel "a gritty but hopeful wartime thriller." Author Rob Currie did extensive research on events happening in the Netherlands during World War II – and the result is an enthralling story which captivates both young adults and children. Some of the darkest days during World War II are never explored in books for young people – but these action packed scenes convey Dutch traditions, danger, loyalty, and faith to readers.
