Toksvig, Sandi

Hitler's Canary

(3) 4-6 Ten-year-old Bamse's life in Copenhagen changes dramatically after the Germans occupy his country. Tension builds as Danes debate a response, and Bamse's brother joins the Resistance movement. Relying on her own family history and a penchant for the theatrical, Toksvig provides a memorable cast of characters as the Danish Resistance unfolds in poignant, startling, and occasionally humorous scenes of courage.
