This is a book that most middle grade students read in their study of WWII.  As a school library media specialist I had never read it.  The book was an amazing, child-friendly way to discuss WWII and the how it affected Jewish families.  This story takes place in Denmark, when the Germans were occupying Denmark.  Families had to deal with the war going on.  Families that were not of Jewish descent had to help their Jewish friends escape to Sweden.  This is a story of a little girl named Annemarie and how Annemarie's family helped their family friends, the Rosens (a Jewish family) during this time. My advanced language arts 4th and 5th graders LOVED this book and begged me to keep reading it whenever we had to stop!  5 stars all the way!
