Different from other books in the series
This book is different from the other books I've read in this series - unlike other adventures, Patrick & Beth have no idea where they are going or even a hint as to what they might learn while there. I thought that aspect was nice. Unlike many books in this series, the title is actually relevant to the story - even clever! (They have to make a baby "escape" to the Ten Boom's house ... Corrie Ten Boom wrote a book entitled "The Hiding Place" about her WWII experiences.) This book provides a great springboard for discussion with your elementary school children about this time in history. As expected, the story is a little forced and short, but for it's target age, I believe that's probably needed.
