520    "The Palazzo Colombina is home to the Uccello family: 
       three generations of men, trapped together in the dusty 
       palace on Venice's Grand Canal. Awkward fifteen-year-old 
       Nico. His distant, business-focused father. And his 
       beloved grandfather, Paolo. Paolo is dying. But before he 
       passes, he has secrets he's waited his whole life to 
       share. When a Jewish classmate is attacked by bullies, 
       Nico just watches - earning him a week's suspension and a 
       typed, yellowing manuscript from his frail Nonno Paolo. A 
       history lesson, his grandfather says. A secret he must 
       keep from his father. A tale of blood and madness . . . 
       Nico is transported back to the Venice of 1943, an 
       occupied city seething under its Nazi overlords, and to 
       the defining moment of his grandfather's life: when 
       Paolo's support for a murdered Jewish woman brings him 
       into the sights of the city's underground resistance. 
       Hooked and unsettled, Nico can't stop reading - but he 
       soon wonders if he ever knew his beloved grandfather at 
       all."--Provided by publisher.
