As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, 10-year-old Annemarie Johansens's family takes in annemaries' best friend, Ellen Roxen, and pretend she is part of the family. Ellen and Annemarie must htink quickly when three Nazi officers arrive late one night and question why Ellen is not blond, like her sisters. Through Annemaries' eyes, we see the Danish Resistance as they manage to smuggle almost the entire Jewish population, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. In this tale of an entire nation's heroism, Lois Lowry reminds us that there is pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.

i am reading this book in school right now and it is soooooo good
The book is okay for me because I'm Jewish so it kinda bothers me but I still like reading books about the holocaust.
omg I read this it made me cry
This book left me Crying. After this book, I realized how lucky I am to be living in this world. It also realized that there is a ton of hate in this world and there is no place on earth for hate. I would totally recommend this book.
I really like this book. I Recommend it.
this is one of my favorite books
A very good book. It has a little bit of every genre. It was a very good book. I totally recommend it to everyone!
I don't know about you but this book is based on true events. This has many characters and their traits are heroic. I don't want to be a spoiler but Annemarie was worried about her mother, she saw that she was injured in the leg. When her mother walked into the house, she remembered she had forgotten a packet. So Annemarie insisted to deliver the packet to Uncle Henrik. So she was stopped by german soldiers and they searched the packet. She remembered her mom saying she needs to act like a no-good silly girl, and Annemarie did so. But that's all I could say. But anyways, I would recommend this book to your older siblings or family, and even friends (or anyone).
