Book Description:
Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think about life before the war. But it's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching in their town.
The Nazi won't stop. The Jews of Denmark are being "relocated," so Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be part of the family.
Then Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission. Somehow she must find the strength and courage to save her best friend's life. There's no turning back now.

My daughter liked the book, but at the end of the book the Lord's name was taken in vain. She did enjoy the history of WWII within the book.
even though this is a book for younger paople, there are interesting historical points in it. Avery quick read.
Angela N. (Good book for younger readers about the Holocaust. I read it in elementary school... a few years ago.
One of my favorite books. I have read this book several times. The main character is not Jewish, but her best friend is and it's about how the main character's family protects her friend's Jewish family during the WWII Nazi regime. A great book for a young reader or adult. Highly recommend. Surprised this one hasn't been made into a movie yet.
Newbery Award Winner 1989. Thought provoking story. Well characterized people recognizable by today's readers. WWII story set in Nazi occupied Copenhagen. Many of the problems are ones faced today.
This is a wonderful book about the Jews and the Nazis! It's so much better than the movie!!
Newbery winner. Reading level is 5.2.
Story of a 10-year old danish jewish girl in hiding during WWII.
Judy H. (Wonderful story for adults and kids to read together -- it tells the story of the courage of the Danish people during the Nazi era.
I enjoyed this book because I like books about the Holocaust and World War II. I thought it portrayed the plight of a young girl very well, and was an interesting story.
My 8th grader read this book and learned alot from it. She really felt for the characters.
