Book Reviews of Hitler's Canary
Book Review: After a slow start, this story really grabbed me
Summary: 4 Stars
You see the German occupation of Denmark through the eyes of a young boy whose colofully dramatic mother, an actress, plays a key "role" in saving Jews. The boy's fear is real, as is his naive courage when he joins the Resistance. Though the tension eventually builds to a compelling climax, what held back my fifth star was the story's slower pace at beginning-- young readers might need encouragement to push through the first third of the book until the danger takes over. They will be glad they did.
