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.

This book is about a Jewish girl, her family, her best friend, and her best friends' family during the time period of World War 2. When the nazis come to take the Jewish girl away will her best friend and her family be able to save her? You will have to find out by reading the book. I have read and reread this book for about a million times, not really but I have read this book several times. So I think that this book is really good. Also no madder how many times you read it you wont get board. I hope you will read it soon if you have not already.
