Facing the Lion is the autobiographical account of a young girl's faith and courage. Set during the Nazi occupation of Eastern France, it tells the story of one 12-year-old's struggle to follow her conscience rather than give in to Nazi propaganda and persecution.

Simone's honesty about her joys and fears and her harrowing experiences at school and in a Nazi prison have appealed to thousands of readers, many of whom are young people themselves, struggling with similar peer pressure today.

This 408-page hardbound and illustrated book is suitable for eighth-grade readers and older and is rapidly becoming a favorite of Holocaust educators.
