This was one of my favorite books growing up. I read this book over and over in elementary and junior high school.
The story is about a ten-year-old girl named Annemarie who lived in Denmark in 1943 and was caught up in the events surrounding the Nazis and Danish Jews. She and her family risked their lives to help Annemarie's best friend, Ellen Rosen, by pretending that Ellen is Annemarie's older sister; the sister had died earlier in the war during her work for the Resistance.
I can't believe I forgot about this book! I loved reading it and secretly wishing that I could live a life like her!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book!! I think I read it for Battle of the Books in Elementary school. Such a good one. I always remember the part where she has to grab the star off of her friends necklace and has the imprint in her hand. I guess it was a very vivid image for me because sometimes I just randomly think of it.
