Summary
Annmarie Johansen, a ten year old girl. Annmarie and her best friend Ellen Rosen live in the small peaceful town of Copenhagen, Denmark until World War II breaks out. Streets are filled with Nazi soldiers on each corner and are on a mission to relocate all the Danish Jews. Ellen and her family have to be separated in order to save them all from the soldiers. While Ellen is living with the Johansens trying to escape the Nazi invasion. Annmarie's family makes a plan to save the Rosens and to do that they will have to go on a dangerous journey to try and save her best friend's life. Will their plan work?
This book is in the rights and responsibilities novel unit because Annmarie the main character and her family have to take on the biggest responsibility to hide her friend Ellen from the Nazi soldiers. In this book the soldiers have broken Amendment 5 in the Bill of Rights which is no searching through personal property and that's exactly what they did and Amendment 1 which is freedom of religion. Family and friends all over Copenhagen are trying to save the Danish Jews by smuggling them over to Sweden in the fishing boats where there's no soldiers.
