Alan Gratz

    27 januari 1972

    Alan Gratz creëert spannende historische en avontuurlijke verhalen, die vaak thema's als moed, overleving en de zoektocht naar identiteit onderzoeken. Zijn proza staat bekend om zijn vlotte tempo en meeslepende vertelstijl, die de lezer rechtstreeks in het hart van de actie trekt. Gratz verweeft meesterlijk historische feiten met fictieve elementen, waardoor werken ontstaan die zowel vermakelijk als leerzaam zijn. Zijn vermogen om zowel jonge volwassen lezers aan te spreken als een breder publiek te boeien, maakt hem tot een belangrijk hedendaags auteur.

    Prisoner B-3087
    • Survive. At any cost. 10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story.

      "It's 1945, and the world is in the grip of war. Hideki lives on the island of Okinawa, near Japan. When WWII crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted into the Blood and Iron Student Corps to fight for the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade and a set of instructions: Don't come back until you've killed an American soldier. Ray, a young American Marine, has just landed on Okinawa. He doesn't know what to expect -- or if he'll make it out alive. He just knows that the enemy is everywhere. Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island, surviving heart-pounding ambushes and dangerous traps. But when the two of them collide in the middle of the battle, the choices they make in that instant will change everything. From the acclaimed author of Refugee comes this high-octane story of how fear can tear us apart, and how hope can tie us back together"--
