All of the book is my favorite because Annemarie is always brave even Nazis do not intimidate her! I am also brave myself because I have disability and everyday I easily face my faers to overcome my challenges.I enjoyed the brave triumphing over the Nazi. |

I wonder what Annemarie is feeling, when the war is over, and they are on the balcony of their apartment watching the parade and Ellen has not come back yet? What would you do with the star of david? I would want to were it also until Ellen comes back. I can't believe that peter died. He was clever with the medicine and all.And now we know how lise died. That was wierd how they were in the Resistance. |

To Charles.M: We think it is fair that Uncle Henrik lied to Annemarie. Because, as Uncle Henrik said, it is easier to be brave when you don't know everything. Then, when the soldeirs asked Annemarie who died, it was harder to lie than if she did not know that she was lying. Get our point? We know that it was fair for Uncle Henrik and Mama to lie to Annemarie. WRITE BACK A.S.A.P!! |

To Michael: I'm all done with the book. You were wrong about how there were clothes in the casket. It was just empty, with blankets and everything. I felt scared and happy at the same time about the book. It was scarey how the soldiers came into Uncle Henrik's house. It was happy because of The God of Thunder. |

MESSAGE:
To Anybody: Do you have an idea why they had Blankets in the casket? I think it was for if they(Germans) open it they would probably think that she is wrapt up in blankets, because Ma said that she died of a diseases.So maybe they wouldn`t open up the blankets. From, Ciera b. |

MESSAGE:
We are on chapter 17 and we were wondering if Annmarie ever gets to see Ellen again and if Ellen will be safe in Sweden. We where also wondering why you think the Nazis don't invade Sweden and what do you think it would be like to be in the secret place on the Ingeborg? We think that Annmarie will get to see Ellen and Ellen will be safe in Sweden. I think the Nazis didnt invade Sweden beacuse Sweden is bigger then Germany and I think it would be very cramped under the Ingeborg. |

MESSAGE:
To: Andrew.O, We agree with you, we think that it has really good sensory details about where Uncle Henrik lives.Do you think it sounds nice there if you had a choise about living there in Gillileje? We would like to live there to because it would be a nice place even though there is hardly any people there and hardly anything to do but go swimming and milk Blossom. But it would be fun. We also like the chapter 7 because it had alot of details like, The little red roof farm house, its chimmney crooked and even the small shuttered windows tilted at angles, a birds nest wispy with straw was half hidden in the corner where the roof meet the wall above a bedroom window. Did you like those sensory details? Please write back!!!!! |

Why didn't they tell Ellen about no such person as Great-Aunt-Brite? We just did a report on Ch. 1-10 with a video camra and we did it in three groups we are going to put it together to make a news report. Do you boys and girls make some reports on the Chapters? |

MESSAGE:
What do you think is on the handkerchief? I think it is a type of drug and animal blood. Do you think it was suspenseful when the soldiers found the important package? Annemarie thout about Little-Red-Ridding-Hood because she was in the woods like Annemarie was , because it was one of her sister's favorite stories and because it took her mind off her fears. Pleas write back. |

I thought that in chapter 10 the author did a good job on mama when the German solder demanded the casket to be opened. I like when mama scared him away with " Great Aunt Birte's old fake and deadly germs. Do you agree? |

I thought that chapter ten had lots of suspense in it because when the soudiers came in their house they made the chapter exciting.I also think at that the mourners are the resistenes group in disguise because peter and the roses are there and Peter is probably in the resistense group.Who do you think they are? |

MESSAGE:
I thougt that the mood of the chapter was getting mad because the soldier people just barged in and slaped mama on the cheek.I think that uncle henrik will have to take the morners on the boat so they can get free and then he will come back and a soldier will ask him where he went and they will take him away.I drew a picture of uncle henrik reading the bible to them cause i thuoght that was a really important part in the story.Why would they want to open the casket?Why would they have the casket in the house?What do you think is going to happen to Peter?

I think Annemarie is brave because she wouldn't have went to Uncle Henrik and ask him why he was lying. She wouldn't have been able to talk to the soldiers as calmly as she did if she wasn't brave. Write back ASAP |
