THE BOYS WHO CHALLENGED HITLER, by Phillip Hoose

The story: Feeling that his homeland had caved in to the Nazis without any kind of fight at all, Knud Pederson and a group of friends organized the first group of resistance fighters in Denmark during World War II. This is the true story of the Churchill Club--a group of teen boys whose daring exploits challenged the rest of the country to stand up to the German war machine.

June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance Abuse PG; Magic and the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (war and its related hardships) PG; overall rating PG.

Liz's comments: Hand this one to anyone who likes true stories of teens risking their lives to make a difference. Non-fiction at its best!
