On an extraordinary journey, made by a boy of five through war-torn Europe in 1944 and 1945, Peter travels with his parents from a small Hungarian town, through Austria and then Germany. Along the journey, Peter realises that the adventure is really a nightmare: sleeping in a tent and then under the sky, catching butterflies in the meadows, watching bombs falling from the blue sky outside Vienna, learning maths from his mother in Belsen. All this is drawn against a background of terror, starvation, infection and his father's and grandmother's deaths, stunningly illustrated in black and cyan used to great effect.
