PoW

Martin Booth

Fifteen-year-old Ted Foley, a ship's boy on the HMS Nomad, is captured by the Germans after his boat is sunk during World War I. No one escapes from his prisoner of war camp, deep in the heart of Germany. Ted watches prisoners freeze to death during the winters and get shot for trying to escape, and decides that he must get away somehow. He'll need maps, money, and luck - but he thinks he knows a way out. For junior and senior high readers. 2000.
