"Impossible Escape: A True Story of Survival and Heroism in Nazi Europe" is a true story of two Jewish teenagers racing against time during the Holocaust—one in hiding in Hungary, and the other in Auschwitz, plotting escape.

Steve Sheinkin is the acclaimed author of nonfiction histories, including "Fallout," "Undefeated," "Born to Fly," "The Port Chicago 50," and "Bomb." His accolades include a Newbery Honor, three Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards, and three National Book Award finalist honors.
