With the rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve-year-old Gerta finds her family suddenly divided. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city.

But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom?

Such a Pretty Backpack.
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
I love this backpack. It's very beautiful and very comfortable to wear. I mainly bought it for a trip to Prague, but I love this bag so much I started using it daily. The quality feels good all around. The zippers are really smooth and the straps are very comfortable. One of my friends happened to take such a liking to it that she ordered her own too. The different pockets allow for easy organization and quick access. It's very stylish and so far, its been quite durable. I've used it for a little less than 5 months and a trip to the other side of the world, but its still holding up.

"Quality and style in a single backpack"
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
"The backpack has an elegant and minimalist design, with a smooth and good quality finish. It is spacious, has several practical pockets and looks resistant for daily use. The neutral color makes it easy to combine and perfect for both work and travel. Very functional and with excellent presentation.”

Quality for your money.
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
I am beyond pleased. Everything works well. I was just think yesterday after looking at it that i will have this bag long because it strong like keep for years strong, no joke. It is worth it. Easy to use, the space is enough for a University Student like me, and it adjsut well but I'm guessing it's manufacturing problem as one starp is longer than the other and feels funny at time but I work around it and adjust to my comfort.

Perfect backpack for work and daily use
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
The backpack has a clean, professional look and the material feels sturdy and smooth. The size is perfect for a 16-inch laptop, with good padding and comfortable straps. I use it daily for work, and everything fits well inside, including my laptop, charger, and a few essentials. It stays organized without feeling bulky and is very comfortable to carry

Comfy and supportive
Size: 36B, Color: Beige
the fit of this bra is amazing, but i did found out i’m a cup bigger and i’ll be ordering a new size, i can tell this bra is perfect! i’ve been looking for a bra that’s soft, comfy, but also supportive and creates a natural appearance. the durability and quality of the bra seems great, it seems strong but i will update if otherwise. the underwire keeps the shape of the girls but it feels like there’s nothing there! usually i have to go to the restroom a few times a day at work to readjust, but this bra held in place. obviously when leaning over or stretching a bit you do have to readjust, not as much as other bras though. like the description and photos show, there is no padding. in a t-shirt it may matter but i mostly wear sweatshirts and graphics :)
