This is the third installment in the Young Underground series. The focus of the series is a pair of twins who live Denmark during German Occupation. In this book, the pair is caught up in the delivery of illegal newspapers.
The series is published by a Christian publishing house, but why God and faith do have a role, it isn’t a hit you over the head with a rolling pin type. If you believed in God and found yourself being chased by Nazi, wouldn’t you pray?
Yep.
While the book is focused on Peter, his twin sister Elsie is a good girl character in the sense that she is as tough as her brother. She is not a stereotypical tom boy; in fact, I wouldn’t call her a tom boy at all. This was excellent because too often the girls in such series are shown to be “girls who act boys”. Elise acts Elise. She is not a boy. Nice touch that.
The action is pretty good, and does a good job of conveying the dangers and risks realistically without being too graphic for the desired age group.
