Summary of the book: This is a story about a 10 year old little girl name Annemarie Johansen, who lived in Copehagen, Denmark. Annemarie and her family risked their lives to help her best friend, Ellen Rosen. They pretended that she was part of their family to save her life. This is compelling story of bravery and heroism.
How can the book be used with students in the classroom: I could use this book for a Social Studies lesson. I would have the class read the book, and we could discuss things like, the holocaust, concentration camps and Denmarks Jewish citizens. It’s a great book to talk about things that went on during World War II.
