Past, present and future are skilfully woven into this novel set in contemporary times and WWII Poland, about friendship and endurance in the darkest situation, based on a real life story. Kat is a twelve-year-old girl with a big imagination. She loves art and working on her super-heroine comic Girl 38, the girl she wants to be. But at school her best friend Gem is a gang leader, a force to be reckoned with, and at home Kat feels lonely when her parents are working long hours. She's afraid of her elderly neighbour Ania, her overgrown garden and crumbling house. But when, one day, Kat sees her neighbour fall, she rushes to help and, inside Ania's house, finds a mysterious partly-finished portrait... As Kat and Ania's friendship blossoms, Kat is inspired by Ania's childhood story set in Poland at the outbreak of WWII. Of her daring leap to freedom, and her search for her friend Mila, who has been taken away by soldiers to a 'walled village'. Will Ania's incredible story of friendship and determination show Kat the way? Will she unravel the mystery of the unfinished portrait and find a happy ending for Girl 38?
