One day a young man came to their school with a request: Could they take in, and hide, ten Jewish refugee children? Sister Gabriel spoke up. “The Nazis are looking for those children. If we take them we must never let on they are here. Do you understand?” Of course the children understood—but how would they hide them if the Nazis came? Review: Happy to find this! - I've been wanting to read this book since childhood, but never could find it. I was so happy to see it here. Books like this are so important for children to encourage them to learn about and ask questions about history, even the not so nice parts of it. I wish I would've had this when my son was little, but I will be saving it in case I have grandchildren. Review: Wondeful story of Nazi ocupied France from a childs perspective. - This story of children during the world war two era really brings home the dangers and struggles of "normal" people in the Nazi Era. The children in the story range in age from 6-11 so the reader can understand their feelings and decisions. A very short read the story moves quick and there is plenty of action with only implied violence. Originally made for a class to read through in a week there is five med to long chapters with a good breaking point for parent/teacher conversation after each one. There are many Catholic/Christian references in the childrens games which is not surprising considering the era and that they are cared for by a Nun. References easily understood if you know/lookup basic bible stories. Less than 100 pages. Perfect for 7-11 year olds. ## Features - Author: Bishop, Claire Huchet.Joly, Janet. - Publisher: Puffin Books - Pages: 80 - Publication Date: 1978-03-30 - Edition: Reprint - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 6.99 - ISBN13: 9780140310764 - ISBN: 0140310762 - Language: en - Store Location: Chapter - "Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #71,837 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #56 in Children's Historical Fiction on Military & Wars #90 in Children's Books on Prejudice & Racism #2,022 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 386 Reviews | ## Images ![Twenty and Ten - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fU7ggvqPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy to find this! *by C***L on March 19, 2025* I've been wanting to read this book since childhood, but never could find it.

As a teacher I am always on the lookout for books that are challenging but not overwhelming to the reader. This book is set during WWII , at a school in the country in France. Students had been sent there to live as a place safer than the cities. One day They are asked to keep Jewish children there to. This book does a wonderful job of showing aspects of the war children may not have thought of- food shortage, children hiding from Nazis, separation from parents. The book itself is not very lengthy, and easily adaptable for small groups or classrooms. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/11911005-twenty-and-ten](https://www.desertcart.at/products/11911005-twenty-and-ten) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
