Review By Nathan:
This book is based on a true story and takes place during the Nazi regime. It tells the story of a German boy named Helmuth and his Mormon family. Helmuth is the average teenage school boy until Hitler takes over the government. He starts to realize that Hitler's regime tells lies to get the people to follow them. He eventually decides to do something about it.. He secretly starts to write, type and distribute leaflets that point out Hitler's flaws. When someone turns him in to the Gastopo, he is arrested and convicted. Even though he is still a minor, he is sentenced to death. This book goes between him on death row and his life before he is arrested.
Note to Parents: This book obviously takes place in Nazi Germany and mentions some of the cruelty that took place. As I also mentioned, Helmuth was on death row and it describes prison life. Please read more before having your child read this book.
Age Range: 13-15+ Book Category:Historical Fiction
