Part memoir, part history, this book looks at the Revolution through a child’s eyes. Along with Bobbie’s story, the book includes a factual history of the Revolution and the events that led up to it.
Special sections included with Bobbie’s story feature:
• the 1848 and 1956 Revolutions
• the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary
• what it was like to live under Communist rule
• news from the rest of the world on Radio Free Europe
• poems about courage, freedom, and living without human rights
• Hungarian flags and coats of arms, and tearing the Soviet symbol from the Hungarian flag in protest
• Hungarian names pronunciation guide
• how Bobbie overcame obstacles as an immigrant to pursue her dream of becoming an author and publisher—inspired by her favorite Hungarian king, Könyves Kálmán, or Kalman the Booklover
