I've just finished reading this book to the children during school and I cannot quite describe how good it is and how much we loved it. The book is gripping, informative, thought provoking, conversation starting. It's based in Copenhagen in 1943 when Denmark was under occupation by the Nazis. It's the story of how a Danish family risks their own safety to try to help a Jewish family escape. The Afterword is fascinating- we learnt so much about life in Denmark and about the bravery of so many Danish men and women during the war.
