I decided to read this book because I'm learning about the Holocaust in school right now. It's very good so far.

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.

AMAZING. I thought Peter was bad
This is my favorite book! The book is about a girl, named Annelise that has a friend, named Ellen that is Jewish. Since the book takes place during World War II, the girls and their families have to make sure the soldiers don't find Ellen and her family.
i hope this is a great book i heard its a really good book
This book was really good. I read it for GT.
It teaches you about the war with Jews and Hiltler
Sad is the only word to discribe it.
I have read it with my classes twice its pretty good but it does inform about the holocaust
I liked it, but it isn't for advanced readers.
