A Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Honor Winner

At the outset of World War II, Denmark didn’t withstand German occupation. Deeply ashamed of his nation’s leaders, fifteen-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved along with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to do so against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots within the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who in the end had the men tracked down and arrested. But their efforts weren’t in vain: the men’ exploits and eventual imprisonment helped spark a full-blown Danish resistance. Interweaving his own narrative with the recollections of Knud himself, The Boys Who Challenged Hitler is National Book Award winner Phillip Hoose’s inspiring story of these young war heroes.

This thoroughly-researched and documented book will also be worked into more than one aspects of the common core curriculum.
