Summary: Max doesn't want to be sent to London. He's never left Berlin. He barely speaks English. He doesn't want to live with strangers. Most of all, he doesn't want to leave his parents behind. On the Kindertransport boat to England Max is surprised to discover that he's been joined by two unexpected traveling companions, one on each shoulder: a kobold and a dybbuk named Berg and Stein. Germany is becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish families, but Max is determined to find a way back home, and back to his parents. He has a plan to return to Berlin. It merely involves accomplishing the impossible - becoming a British spy. This first book in a duology is a thought-provoking World War II story with a dash of magic
