Bruno and Frida

Tony Bradman ; illustrated by Tania Rex

East Prussia, Germany, 1945. As the Russian army advances further into Germany at the end of the Second World War, Bruno must flee his home to survive. In the chaos, he finds himself face to face with a huge black dog strapped with explosives. The dog has been sent onto battle by the Russian army and Bruno realises that she is just as scared and alone as he is. Faced with a perilous journey across war-torn Germany, will the bond formed between them be enough to keep Bruno and Frida alive?
