There, a young Stasi officer asks Sophie if she'll spy on her neighbor as an informant once she is released. Sophie doesn't want to agree, but in reality has no choice: the Stasi threaten that her mother, who has a disability from post-polio syndrome, could be taken to an institution if Sophie does not comply. Sophie is backed into a corner, until she learns secrets about her family on the other side of the Wall. This could be what she needs to attempt an escape with her mother to freedom - if she can invent her way out. Author of I Am Defiance Jenni L. Walsh tells a page-turning story of a young girl standing up to oppression.
