Description
I Am David by Anne Holm is a powerful coming-of-age novel about a twelve-year-old boy who escapes from a prison camp in Eastern Europe and suddenly finds himself alone in an unfamiliar world. With little more than a compass, some bread and instructions to seek safety in Denmark, David begins a dangerous journey towards freedom.
As he travels across Europe, David slowly discovers kindness, friendship and a world he has never known, while trying to understand the meaning of trust and freedom. I Am David is a moving story about survival, hope and the transformation that comes with discovering life beyond captivity.
Aimed at readers aged approximately 10–14, it is particularly suited to younger readers who enjoy historical adventure and coming-of-age stories.
