In her new novel, a Newbery Honor winner recounts the adventures of a 14-year-old Norwegian boy named Espen during World War II. Preus incorporates archival photographs, maps, and other images to tell this story based on the real-life adventures of Norwegian Erling Storrusten, whom Preus interviewed in Norway.

Interesting chapter of WW2 that was new to me: After Nazis invade and occupy Norway, Espen and his friends are swept up in the Norwegian resistance movement. These 11 - 14 year olds start by distributing newsletters (non Nazi-approved) subversively to like-minded individuals. Based on a true story.

The strength of oppressed people during war to resist and fight in their own way told with a storyteller's heart!

Not wanting this to turn political but this makes me think of ISIS.
