About the book
Set in Berlin in 1961, and told through journal entries and letters, this is a high-stakes adventure, set during the Cold War. It centres on 2 cousins, Anja and Monika who live opposite each other. They play together every day, with Otto the cat. One night they wake up to bangs and shouts. Soldiers are building a huge, barbed wire fence between them. A terrible forever wall hat gets longer and higher until it divides the whole city. On the East side, Monika is scared - neighbours are becoming spies and there are secret police everywhere. It's Anja who spots that Otto has found a way across. If he can visit Monika, then perhaps she can too. But Anja gets trapped and there's no safe way back.
