Why would a city build a wall through the middle of its own streets-and what happens to the people on each side?

This nonfiction book for kids ages 7 to 12 brings the gripping story of the Berlin Wall to life in a way that's clear, honest, and fascinating. Through real events, brave escapes, and surprising facts, young readers will explore one of the most important moments in modern history.

They'll learn how a city got split overnight, why families were torn apart, and how ordinary people stood up to a system built on fear. From secret tunnels and homemade hot air balloons to peaceful protests and world leaders demanding change, this book explains the big ideas-like communism and capitalism-without talking down to kids.

With chapters that read like stories and vocabulary explained in everyday language, this is a history book that kids will want to keep reading. It shows the courage of people who never gave up and helps readers understand how freedom, unity, and hope can grow-even when a wall stands in the way.

Perfect for young learners, history lovers, report writers, and curious minds who want to know not just what happened, but why it still matters today.
