Product Details

Praise

★”This matter-of-fact narrative shows how youth can stand against an overwhelming tide of fascism. It implicatively asks readers, ‘what would you do?’ while highlighting the actions of young people who refused to be complacent—and the consequences they suffered for it. It challenges common narratives that reserve praise for resistance for the politically centrist middle and upper classes. An eye-opening account of tenacity that brings the efforts of young anti-Nazi activists vividly to life.“—Kirkus Reviews, starred review.

★”[C]arefully and expertly researched. […] Readers will enjoy learning about these resistance groups in this truly new and unique addition to the YA World War II literary canon. A must-read.”—School Library Journal, starred review.

“The stories of these brave children need to be more well-known and further underscore just how much children and young adults have always led the way in political activism and resistance against evils. A deeply affecting book.”—Teen Librarian Toolbox

“[A] beacon of inspiration to today’s youth.”—Nerd Daily

“Supplemented by pictures and documents, Gaddy’s thorough research shines a light on a heroic group of Germans that often goes unmentioned.”—Booklist
