Julek has assumed countless different identities, lived with numerous families, and worked as a secret agent for the Resistance. He was raised in an orphanage (despite having two mothers) and he knows how to speak the language of dogs. All this at the tender age of fourteen!

Julek's story begins in Warsaw on the eve of World War II and ends in Paris after the city's triumphant liberation. We witness the darkest hours of the past century and the effects of war through the eyes of an extraordinary boy who never loses his sense of wonder. Julek's adventure becomes an incredible lesson in survival and a testament to the power of the imagination.

Moviegoers who enjoyed the Academy Award-winning movie Life is Beautiful will love Joanna Gruda's Revolution Baby. Touching upon themes dealt with in the classic Diary of Anne Frank and exhibiting the same love of life and of storytelling as Yann Martel's Life of Pi, this debut novel is as moving as it is finely crafted.
