Our story begins in World War II with a Nazi occupation of Denmark, and as the German soldiers begin to crack down more on the Jews and AnneMarie Johan son's family takes in Ellen Rose and a little Jewish girl and pretends like she's their child for several weeks until they can get her across The water to neutral Sweden. They have some close calls the German soldiers even come in their apartment to check out their children of which one is the Jewish child Ellen Rosen, but the father think up a really good story fast so that they don't realize that Ellen is not their child. This is a great book. I probably read this book half a dozen times and I'm an adult and this is a kids book but it's a fantastic book.
