Italy, 1944: Florence is occupied by Nazi forces. The Italian resistance movement has not given up hope, though- -and neither have thirteen-year-old Paolo and his sister, Costanza. As their mother is pressured into harboring escaping POWs, Paolo and Costanza each find a part to play in opposing the German forces. Both are desperate to fight the occupation, but what can two siblings--with only a bicycle to help them--do against a whole army? Middle- grade fans of history and adventure will be riveted by the action and the vividly evoked tension of World War II. 520 When their mother reluctantly joins the Italian Resistance against Nazi occupying forces in World War II Florence, young Paolo and his sister, Costanza, devise a clever way to use their bicycle to assist the movement. 521 0 880|bLexile. 521 8 880L|bLexile 526 0 Accelerated Reader AR|bMG|c6.0|d6|z158197 526 0 Accelerated Reader|bMG|c6.0|d6|z158197 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 611 27 Siege of Florence (Italy : 1944)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01354779 611 27 World War (1939-1945)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1914-1945|2fast 650 0 Teenage boys|zItaly|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Families|zItaly|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xChildren|zItaly|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xUnderground movements|zItaly |vJuvenile fiction. 650 1 World War, 1939-1945|zItaly|vFiction. 650 1 Mothers|vFiction. 650 1 Bicycles and bicycling|vFiction. 650 1 Teenage boys|zItaly|vFiction. 650 1 Families|zItaly|vFiction. 650 1 World War, 1939-1945|xChildren|zItaly|vFiction. 650 1 World War, 1939-1945|xUnderground movements|zItaly |vFiction. 650 7 Children.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00854835 650 7 Families.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Teenage boys.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01145373 650 7 Underground movements, War.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01355184 651 0 Florence (Italy)|xHistory|ySiege, 1944|vJuvenile fiction. 651 0 Italy|xHistory|y1914-1945|vJuvenile fiction. 651 1 Italy|xHistory|y1914-1945|vFiction. 651 1 Florence (Italy)|xHistory|ySiege, 1944|vFiction. 651 7 Italy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 Italy|zFlorence.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204699 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Juvenile works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411637 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHughes, Shirley, 1927-|tHero on a bicycle|dSomerville, Mass. : Candlewick Press, 2013, c2012 |z9780763660376|w(NjBwBT)bl2013012620|w(OCoLC)816511878 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0012958527|zFound on Boundless
