Notes

137 p. It is 1943 and for ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen, life in Copenhagen is a complicated mix of home and school life, food shortages and the constant presence of Nazi soldiers. She knows about bravery from the stories of the dragon-slaying knioghts that she reads to her younger sister. But Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen is a Jew. As German troops begin their campaign to eradicate all the Jews of Denmark, Annemarie is called upon for courage and a very real-life feat of bravery.
