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 love this book! I really feel bad, although for who, I have no idea. I just feel sad. Do you?

it makes you wan to cry. : ( it made me interested in world war II i hope you read it so it can touch your heart to.

BORING. this may be my opinion, but i say this is for history reader.

And I say this is excellent!

I love this book too! It was so sweet and touching, there should definitely be a sequel! My only negative is that i read it in 2 hours! I wish it were longer.
