equal. King Christian X was a much loved ruler of
Denmark during World War II and while the events
related in this story are fictional, the book is still worth
reading for the message it sends. Make sure to read
the author's note when reading the book, as it explains
what is fiction and what is true of the Danes resistance
to the Nazi Occupation of Denmark. Recommended
by Rachel and Sarah.

During World War II, Norway was invaded by
Germany. The people of Norway did not like having
the Nazi soldiers in their land. In 1940, a Norwegian
freighter arrived in Baltimore with a cargo of gold
bullion. It was reported that the gold had been
smuggled past the Nazi soldiers in Norway by
Norwegian boys and girls. There is no proof that the
story is true, but this book tells what may have
happened! Children can be heros, too!
