   "In spite of the fact that they live in Nazi-occupied Denmark in 1943, best friends Annemarie and Ellen enjoy school and playing together.  But life takes a dramatic shift when the Nazis decide to relocate the Jews.  Racing against time, Annemarie must do what she can to help her Jewish friend Ellen escape the country.   Annemarie learns the meaning of bravery, loyalty and pride as she discovers that one person can make a difference.  Lois Lowry’s Newbery Prize winning novel examines a difficult historical time period in a sensitive, age-appropriate manner."
