Twelve-year-old Andras is the best soccer player on his school team. But, his teammates, jealous of this new arrival on the scene with such natural abilities, constantly tease and harass him mercilessly. When he decides to quit the team, Jennifer, the sister of one of the players intercedes and offers him the kind words and support he needs to open up and tell the amazing story he has kept secret.
Andras begins with the terrifying night the Hungarian Secret Police arrested his father and mother in his home town, Budapest, Hungary. He tells the poignant story of his family’s daring and frightening journey to the United States. Knowing they will be shot if captured, Andras and his family plan their escape, obtaining the forged documents needed to leave their shattered city for freedom in America. Along with his parents, grandfather and three sisters, he encounters terrifying situations as the family heads for the border. And his once boyish hopes for adventure turn into abject fear of those life-threatening events. The little group must survive the terror of bullets, boarder guards, prison and dangerous crossings as they begin their journey to freedom and acceptance in a strange land.
We Have To Escape is a true story of an exciting and terror-filled escape to America. And how, once here, life for Andras seemed to be unjustly chaotic as he tried to fit into a strange culture.
Judit Makranczy was born in Budapest, Hungary. Her novel depicts the events of her family’s triumphs and tragedies as they flee their war-torn country. She is now a resident of Dallas, Texas
