I read this Newberry Award winning book at a young age upon the recommendation of a teacher. I have always been very interested in books on the subject of the Holocaust. This soon became one of my very favorite books. I have read the copy in my permanent collection many, many times. This copy was purchased at Goodwill for release.

"Ten-year-old Annemarie Johannesen becomes involved in the evacuation of Jews from Denmark when her family hides her friend, Ellen Rosen, and then aids in her escape. Annemarie learns about the meaning of bravery and the necessity of being protected by lies from loved ones in a time of life-threatening secrets." Audiofile, bn.com

Sending to scrimshawn today in a trade. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I do!

What an excellent book! I love how the author uses elements of suspense to make us thing that Annemarie and her family are about to get captured in their efforts to protect the Jews. I also love the historical accuracy used to create the story. Author Lois Lowry really did her homework before deciding to read this book. I reccommend this book to anybody seeking a good read. It is especially good for middle school, high school freshmen, and intermediate elementary readers.

RELEASE NOTES:

Gave this to a pretty little girl in my neighborhood. She also attends my church and school. Thought she might like to read it.

I passed this along to a young reader who I thought might enjoy it. She is a fantastic artist and has sent me some really amazing artist trading cards. I am certainly hoping she enjoys the book and am even hoping she will find bookcrossing an interesting concept. I hope she enjoys it.
