The Boy at the Top of the Mountain

In 1935, an orphan is taken in by his aunt—a servant in the home of Adolf Hitler. When seven-year-old Pierrot becomes an orphan, he must leave his home in Paris—and his best friend, a deaf Jewish boy named Anshel—for a new life with his aunt Beatrix, a servant in a wealthy Austrian household.

But this is no ordinary time, for it is 1935 and the Second World War is fast approaching; and this is no ordinary house, for it is the Berghof, the home of Adolf Hitler. Pierrot is quickly taken under Hitler's wing and, in the following years, thrown into an increasingly dangerous new world—a world of terror, secrets, and betrayal from which he may never be able to escape.

This powerful historical novel is a tale of innocence corrupted by evil and the difficult road to redemption.
