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 am in the middle of this book but it is such a good book I would totally read it. The book is about a Christian girl named Annemarie and a Jewish girl named Ellen. They are best friends and live close. At the time there are Natzi’s trying to take away all Jewish people from the town. If you want to find out the rest I would totally read it :)

Best School assignment ever. It's an awesome book. I highly recommend. It's not that scary; only a few parts that would be a bit scary for ages under 10.

I read this book because it was a school assignment and it was an amazing book. I really recommend it.
