Based on the novel by the author of War Horse, Waiting for Anya follows the story of Jo Lalande, a thirteen-year-old shepherd living in the mountain village of Lescun.

That is, until a ferocious encounter with a bear introduces Jo to the mysterious Benjamin, a Jewish refugee who is desperately awaiting the arrival of his missing daughter, Anya, before making his escape across the border. Making friends with Benjamin and his mother-in-law Horcada, an isolated widow who lives in the nearby mountains, Jo becomes aware of a very dangerous secret - the family are involved in smuggling Jewish children over the mountains to the safety of Spain. In a heroic act of defiance, Jo promises to assist Benjamin in his endeavours...but soon becomes embroiled in a perilous conspiracy when German troops make their descent upon the village.
