Will he succeed in betraying the refugees to the hated, dread Secret Police…?
Endorsement
“These books tell of Holland under German occupation: the hunger and cold during the long winters, the constant threats of a dangerous enemy, the brave deeds of resistance fighters. Younger readers will enjoy these books. There is excitement and suspense, heroism and betrayal. Taken together the five books of this series provide a good history-in-story-form of the occupation of Holland. It is best to read the whole series in order.” – T.M.P. VanderVen
