As France falls to the Nazis, Julien struggles with doing what is right, even if it is not enough?and wonders whether or not he really can save Nina from almost certain death.Based on the true story of the town of Le Chambon?the only French town honored by Israel for rescuing Jews from the Holocaust?How Huge the Night is a compelling, coming-of-age drama that will keep teens turning the pages as it teaches them about a fascinating period of history and inspires them to think more deeply about their everyday choices."The Munns have written an engrossing historical novel that is faithful to the actual events of World War II in western Europe during the tumultuous year 1940.

Dorsett, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University"Seldom have the horrors of war upon adolescents--or the heroism of which they are capable--been so clearly portrayed. I loved this coming-of-age story."--Patricia Sprinkle, author of Hold Up the Sky"The book expertly weaves together the lives of its characters at a frightening moment in conflicted times. As we read of their moral dilemmas and of their choices, we too wonder, Would I do as these in the story have done?"--Karen Mains, Director, Hungry Souls
