by Joseph Kertes (Author)

Hiding in a coffin beneath barn floorboards, a sixteen-year-old Roma boy named Gabriel evades Bulgarian and German marauders in wartime Greece. Phoebe, a Greek girl his age, keeps him alive by bringing him provisions, and the two inevitably fall in love. Their union is opposed by her family--especially by her father, who works in the Greek underground resistance. Although they are caught in the violent currents of war and history, Gabriel and Phoebe remain enchanted by the small miracles around them and the possibilities of love and redemption. SIRENS is Gabriel's diary of his days in hiding and the weeks after. It is an indelible, deeply moving story of youth, love, and loss.
