Representaion Concering Books The Boy Who Dared
A youth in Nazi Germany tells the truth about Hitler. Bartoletti has taken one episode from her Newbery Honor Book, Hitler Youth, and fleshed it out into a full novel. When 16-year-old Helmut Hubner listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio, he quickly discovers Germany is lying to the people. But when he tries to expose the truth with leaflets, he's tried for treason. Sentenced to death and waiting in a jail cell, Helmut's story emerges in a series of flashbacks that show his growth from a naive child caught up in the patriotism of the times, to a sensitive and mature young man who thinks for himself.

I thought this was a pretty good book. I feel like it the beginning was a little slow but after that it was really engaging.This story resonates so much because it's based on a true account of a young man named Helmuth during World War II. He is a patriotic German and can see why Hitler could be good for the country. Just like many others he gets sweeped up with the hysteria of a new hope for the broken down Germany. Slowly but surely though he comes to see what the whole regime is really about.The book flips perspectives from the present to memories Helmuth has leading up to why he is in jail. The voice of the
***Spoiler Alert***A young boy is getting executed, the punishment he doesn't know when. This book is one of the those books that you can't keep your eyes off because you never know what is going to happen. I personally don't like reading books, this book made me rethink that. The genre of this book is history, so if you don't like history you should still read this book. This is one of my favorite books and hopefully you choose to read it too.This book is a true story about a young boy during
This book was OK. It was not very interesting to me. I gave it three out of five stars because some of it didnt make sense and there was really no action to it at all. I would recommend you read it though if you like the topic of World War 2.
My recommendation with this book, is read the author's note first. Then read Helmut`s story. I believe it would have been better placed as an introduction, making events and Helmut all the more tangible, as you read and witness this young man's story. And witness, as we all should.
What does Fahrenheit 451, The Gulag Archipelago, 1984, and The Hiding Place or perhaps you have heard of these people: Anne Frank, Corrie Ten Boom, Dietrich Bonnehoffer, and Martin Niemoeller have in common w/The Boy Who Dared. These books and people, all deal with theTheme of good people in controlling societies or government taking a stand against evil. Ms. Bartoletti brings to life the true story of a young Hitler youth who dared to take a stand against the NAZI Government of Germany.The
