Although I am not much of a fan of nonfiction books, I have to say I enjoyed this one. I've always been interested in World War II and it is nice to see a new point of you. I would definitely recommend this book to fiction and nonfiction readers alike. I think my middle school or's will enjoy it.

Interesting story about teens who began the Danish resistance to the Third Reich. Hoose excels at these kind of books - he provides lots of accurate information in format that readers find comfortable. Lots of good photos are included. He was profoundly lucky that Knud Pedersen was still alive and could provide the details. Why the Nazis didn't just execute them will always remain a mystery.
Give to kids who like WWII history and they will gobble it up.

I liked the narrative style of this book and learned a lot about a topic I had previously never heard of. The

Not usually one for nonfiction, I was hesitant to start this one (regardless of the hype). I was amazingly surprised. Great pacing and held my interest. It was a story I had never heard before which is always a bonus. Not disappointed and devoured it in one sitting.

What a fascinating true story! The boys of the Churchill Club refused to just go along and accept things as they were. They were willing to risk their freedom - and quite possibly, their lives - to resist. These teenage boys have a lot to teach us about standing up for what we believe in.

Fascinating bit of history in this group of Danish teens who were the first to resist the German occupation and became an inspiration. Switching between narration and Knud's own voice was a bit distracting to me.
