Komm, wir finden einen Schatz! Laura ist glücklich. Die Ferien haben angefangen und nächste Woche geht es zu den Großeltern. Opa hat ihnen eine Bootsfahrt versprochen und Tommy denkt nur noch an eins: in See zu stechen - wie ein echter Pirat! Doch dann sagt Opa ab. "Was nun?", fragt sich Laura. Ob ihr Freund, der Stern, vielleicht eine Idee hat?

Laura has just three weeks to go before her Jewish "coming of age" ceremony, called a Bat Mitzvah, when she is assigned a special project. She is to read the diary of Sara Gittler, a young girl her own age who was imprisoned by the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. Sara never had the chance to celebrate her coming of age, so Laura is to learn about Sara's life and then share her Bat Mitzvah with her "twin" by speaking of her at the ceremony.
