The Voices of Silence — Bel Mooney

Romania, 1989. It's unthinkable for anyone to criticize the country's leader. Thirteen-year-old Flora Popescu can't even imagine what a revolution would be like, but suddenly everything she's taken for granted -- her parents, her best friend, her daily routine -- has altered. These frightening changes seem connected to the mysterious Daniel, a new classmate. Why is he lucky enough to dress and eat so well when everyone else is so poor? Flora's familiar world crumbles as she draws closer to the truth. Her father is in great danger, and only she can save his life.
