About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a stunning thriller about a girl who must escape to freedom after the Berlin Wall divides her family between east and west. With the rise of the Berlin Wall, 12-year-old Gerta finds her family divided overnight. 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 her 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?

Highly recommend
A gripping story which fully immerses the listener in the atmosphere of living in the former GDR. We listened to this with my children prior to a visit to Berlin and it much enhanced our visit.

NIGHT DIVIDED REVIEW
I think that a night divided is a great book for some people who are fascinated in berlin and the berlin wall or just who want to read about very big historical events. I think the message in the book is saying to people who are about 6-18 that you can do something huge to change other peoples lives and if you know something is wrong then do something to change that. I really loved this book and it's based on a real story apparently and I wander what life would it been like back then! I would recommend this book to anyone and please read it because it's a good story and it will interest you.

Fantastic
One of those books that really draws you in. When the characters took risks i was shouting at the recording that they would get caught. Well written and a good pace. Not too long

A well paced story that keeps you hooked from the very first chapter. Read very well and I'd highly recommend it to children Year 6 upwards.
