New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen transports readers to a corner of history with this inspiring story of a girl who discovers the strength of her people united in resisting oppression.
Danger is never far from Audra's family farm in Lithuania. She always avoids the occupying Russian Cossack soldiers, who insist that everyone must become Russian -- they have banned Lithuanian books, religion, culture, and even the language. But Audra knows her parents are involved in something secret and perilous.

When Cossacks arrive abruptly at their door, Audra's parents insist that she flee, taking with her an important package and instructions for where to deliver it. But escape means abandoning her parents to a terrible fate.

As Audra embarks on a journey to deliver the mysterious package, she faces unimaginable risks, and soon she becomes caught up in a growing resistance movement. Can joining the underground network of book smugglers give Audra a chance to rescue her parents?

I started it and I liked it. I wish I got to read more.

Title: Words on Fire Author: Jennifer A. Nielsen Genre: Historical fiction It had some challenging words but if you don't know how to say them, you will still understand the book . This was almost like a portal back into history, I never knew about Lithuania and the Cossack's and I'm glad I read it. This book was full of sadness, surprises, challenges, and some good times along the way.
