Description:In the spring of 1954, when her father announces that the family has a chance to immigrate to Canada, Theresa’s life changes forever. She and her family are wartime refugees from Yugoslavia, so it shouldn’t be hard to leave Austria. But the weathered barracks of Lager Lichtenstein are the only home she knows, and they are filled with family and friends she doesn’t want to leave behind.As she says her good-byes, Theresa’s friend Martin gives her two gifts: a package of postcards and a stone he calls the Gnome’s Eye, which he says will “protect her from all things evil, living or dead.” Theresa is convinced the stone has no power, but she still keeps it close as they travel on the crowded immigrant ship and when they settle into a crowded rooming house on Kensington Avenue in Toronto.At first Theresa is afraid of everything: the other tenants in the rooming house, the rat that lives in the kitchen, learning a new language. But as time goes by, Theresa’s need for the Gnome’s Eye fades, until she is finally able to give it to someone who needs it more than she does.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
