MESSAGE:
I think the Nazi's will come to their apartment because the next chapter is "Who Is the Dark Haired Girl?" and the soldiers are probably the ones who are asking who the dark haired girl is. Ellen has dark hair, but the Nazis will believe that Ellen is Annemarie's sister. |

To Michael D from Mata Inter. Houston, TX: We will respond to you, but PLEASE write back. First it was nice that Annemarie and Ellen were happy and had nothing to worry about. Then when the Nazis came it was very scary and suspenseful. We had more ideas, but can't write them all. Anyway, who do you think Great-aunt Birte is? |

MESSAGE:
To Candace J. @ Mata Inter. Houston,TX: We completely agree. When we read Chapter 5, we were very worried about Ellen and Annemarie's safety. Annemarie was holding Ellen's necklace and the Star of David became imprinted on her hand. If the Nazis saw it they might have taken her instead. It gets better and better each chapter. |

Dear Jennifer (Alexander Elenentary) I agree with everything you wrote. If the German soldiers were in my house I won't know what to do. I think Annemarie's dad was smart too when he found that picture of Lise when she was a baby. |

To:Jackie From:Cynthia M. In chapter 6 my most suspenceful moment was when they were in the train and. You did'nt know what Kristi was going to say to a solider but it's good that she did'nt say anything like "this is Ellen and this is her New Years".My favorite part was when they were on there way to uncle Henricks house and they kept on talking about what they were seeing lij=ke the castle and the Deer park. |

MESSAGE:
To Nicholas at Mata Intermediate in Houston: We also felt worried when we were on Chapter 5. We are now on Chapter 15. When the imprint of the Star of David was on Annemarie, we thought it would give the secret away. What do you think about Kirsti? Tim thinks she is like his 7 year old sister. She is smart,and if someone gets in her way she pushes them out. |

Dear Cory J. This is classmate Jesseca here. I don't think that the Germans will take Ann Marie because they are only strict to Christians who arn't Germans but they really truly want to kill all Jews. |

Casey: I think that they are bringing Ellen to Annemarie's uncle's house because they will send Ellen to Sweden. You can see Sweden from Uncle Henrik's house, and Sweden is free from the Nazis. Do you think so? Kate: I think the most suspenseful part in Chapter 6 was when Kirsti Eliza: My favorite part is at the end of Chapter 5 when Annemarie |

MESSAGE:
Do you think Chapter 6 was exciting? We don't think it was, except when Kirsti said, "Guess what? We are going to see my Uncle Henrik's and I have new shoes!" We thought for sure she was going to say that it was Ellen's New Year because she's Jewish! Do you think Chapter 5 was exciting? WE DO! We were nervous and we thought it was suspensful, and also kind of sad because the soldier ripped Lise's picture. That might have been the only picture of Lise as a baby. The soldier probably ripped the picture because he was mad. He was sure Ellen wasn't their kid, but they had (fake) proof. |

MESSAGE:
In our book club we talked about what we thought about what we would do if we were Kirsti's mother and you could tell she was about to tell the soldiers that Ellen was Jewish. Douglas said that kids Kirsti's age can be easily distracted. He might just start talking about something totally different, and Kirsti would quit chatting about Ellen. Kevin thought about what his mom would do. Maybe she would interrupt Kirsti quickly and tell her to stop being so chatty. Claire had this idea: If Kirsti let out the secret, Claire would just say that Kirsti was pretending and playing house, like little kids like to do. If you were |
