Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life.
This book has been on my want to read list for a very long time. I originally wanted to read it because I love historical fiction and it is set in Denmark. I am 1/4 Danish. My paternal grandfather was the first of his family born in the United States. I really enjoyed the book. The characters were interesting. I cared about what happened to them. I highly recommend this book to 5th to 8th graders.
