For its target audience (middle grade), this was well written with a good message. I hadn't known of Denmark's status during WWII and their role in helping Jewish people get to safety.

Overall, a good read.

A well-written short story set during the Nazi occupation of Norway. It approaches the narrative-worn German occupation with an approach I haven’t seen before, and it’s refreshing in its variety.

no real plot and tells an important story but i think there’s other’s children’s literature that do a better, more impactful job of telling this history
