Description: In Lois Lowry's unforgettable Newbery Medal winning novel a ten - year - old Danish girl's bravery is tested when her best friend is threatened by Nazis in 1943. As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark Annemarie Johansen's family takes in Annemarie's best friend Ellen Rosen and conceals her as part of the family. Through the eyes of ten - year - old Annemarie we watch as the Danish Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark nearly seven thousand people across the sea to Sweden. The heroism of an entire nation reminds us that there was pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war. With a new introduction by the author.
