5.0

This is one I'm considering for our historical book clubs. It was an exciting story and I really liked the connections to historical events and how the story of the Churchill Club was woven into the beginning of Danish resistance. There is some challenging language, but it's a pretty short book and it has a lot of pictures so I think it balances out well and won't be too difficult. There are some darker moments, especially when they're in prison, but overall the tone is pretty lighthearted and adventurous for a story from that time period. And I think kids will enjoy reading about the actions and planning and rebellion of someone so close to their age, it'll work well for connections and deeper thinking about how they might react.
