The Boy Who Dared - by Susan Campbell Bartoletti (Paperback)

The Boy Who Dared is a powerful and gripping novel that tells the story of a young man in Nazi Germany who dares to expose the truth about Hitler.

Written by a Newbery Honor-winning author, this book provides a unique perspective on the Holocaust through the eyes of a teenager.

The protagonist, Helmut Hubner, discovers the truth about Hitler's lies when he listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio.

When he tries to expose the truth with leaflets, he's tried for treason and sentenced to death.

Through a series of flashbacks, we see Helmut's growth from a naive child caught up in the patriotism of the times to a sensitive and mature young man who thinks for himself.

This book is an important title for the Holocaust curriculum and will inspire readers with its message of conscience and courage.
