内容简介
One summer after the Second World War, Etienne visits his beloved grandfather near the French town of Mont Brulant. A two-month vacation strenthes before Etienne--with hay to be turned, pears to be harvested, and old books to help repair. Best of all are the fields and woods around Mont Brulant, waiting to be explored on the back of Grand-pere's horse.
But this year Mont Brulant isn't the same as Etienne remembers it. Why don't any young people live in the town now?He wonders. And why doesn't any one else notice the refugee children begging along the road?
Then one day Etienne discovers children living in the woods--children named Isaac and Sarah, and many others. Grand-pere says he's imagining things. But why is Grand-pere so worried about the markings that suddently appear on Etienne's forearm?
