Newbery Honor Winner Susan Campbell Bartoletti explores the life of a heroic German youth who dared to stand up against the Nazis.
Bartoletti has taken one episode from her Newbery Honor Book, Hitler Youth, and fleshed it out into a thought-provoking novel. When 16-year-old Helmuth Hubner listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio, he quickly discovers Germany is lying to the people. But when he attempts to expose the truth with leaflets, he’s tried and executed for treason.
Praise for THE BOY WHO DARED: “...an absorbing drama...”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
