The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club
written by Phillip Hoose, and published by Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers
About
91´«Ã½
Hoose presents the true World War II story of eight Danish teens who became resistance fighters while most of the adults in their country reacted passively to the Nazi takeover. He and Knud Pedersen, the original organizer of their Churchill Club, extensively conversed in person and via email; Hoose weaves Pedersen’s own words into an adventurous narrative about these young heroes.
