«La guerre de Petros» is the historical and young adult novel by Alki Zei, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (287 pages, in French).
Petros, a ten-year-old boy living in Nazi-occupied Athens, dreams of becoming a hero. His work in the Resistance consists of painting slogans on walls, but the war will show him the real cost of occupation: friendship, family, and loss of innocence.
