The reason the fisherman can no longer take them is because he asked for a lot more money then before and the resistance is trying to get the money or find someone else to take them.

Stefan asks Lisa how well she can use a gun and she said that she isn't as good as susanne but she can shoot. Stefan tells her that there is a boat ready to take them. Stefan offers for Lisa to stay and help. Lisa tells him that she would stay but Stefan insists that she goes with their mom, dad and their little sister to help them because they need her. They talk some more and they agree that Lisa is staying and that she is going to leave on the last boat available.

Lisa tells her mother and father that she was staying behind and they both did not agree but they did eventually. As Lisa starts to walk out all of the children start to cry. All of them are screaming.

Jesper, Stefan and Lisa are now at the boat on the waterfront when they hear some Germans come along. One of the Germans goes to check the waterfront and if they see the boat they are screwed. Jeper shoots the german and lisa is shooting at the germans too. After a few minutes they see everyone that was in the house move to the beach towards the boats.

As lisa watches the boat float way all she thinks about is if the germans capture everyone on that boat.

This novel was about the Germans and how they invaded Denmark and how the resistance and kids in Lisa’s age group helped most of the jews escape. I really liked this novel because I was never taught about the history with the jews and Germans and it was an amazing experience getting to learn everything that happens. Even though the history is very cruel it is very interesting and something that rarely happens. Overall I loved this book and I loved learning about that part of history.

Lisa has spent two full days in the room with all of the jews. The raid had started Friday night and it was now Sunday night.  The resistance is trying to find a way to get all of the jews at the hospital and anywhere else in sweden. One of the doctors came in and told them that all their houses had been raided and Erik fell apart and now he just sits in a corner. Lisa looks out the window and she sees a funeral and about 20 minutes later she sees everyone rushed out and into the building she is in. Lisa knows 1 of the girls at the funeral.

Lisa's dad tells her that only a few hundred of 8 thousand jews had been captured.

A nurse walks in and tells everyone to get the children ready because they need to be put asleep so they are quiet when they are on the boats. Everyone gets ready in warm clothes and they go outside to a bunch of ambulances and 15 or so people get on each one. They get off and the driver tells them to go to the water when they hear 3 low whistles. They are there for a few hours but then they hear the most bone chilling scream and Lisa goes over to investigate and she sees a man standing over his wife and kids who were under the age of 6. The driver comes back and helps the man stay quiet and tells everyone that something happened with the boats. They all go to a “safe house” on the coast and wait for the boats.

In this chapter Lisa and erik go back to to her apartment and Lisa wonders if the Nazis have already started their raids. Anne tells erik that he needs to get his father so the Nazis don’t get him. Stefan has already gone to get their mother and Lisa is busy packing and taking care of sarah.

Once she is done she gets the phone book and calls all the jewish people and tells them that the rabbi is going on a vacation and they should too. She also calls the jewish sounding name. She calls for a couple of hours then she gives Sarah a bit to eat then they head out of the house with the stuff she packed earlier and she thinks to herself “will i ever see my home again?”

They walk to the hospital and go to her dad's office. She asks if he needs any help with the paperwork that is piled on his desk. He says no so Lisa puts Sarah down for a nap. Erik shows up at the hospital and tells Lisa that his dad said that they aren't in any danger. After Erik is done talking, Stefan and Lisas mom walks in. They tell them that they warned a lot of people about the raid. Lisa starts to talk about how bright the lights are and how the Germans could kill a baby if they had to.

The bright lights remind me of chapter 6 when she can’t sleep in a hospital due to the bright lights.

In this chapter Lisa went to Erik's house and warned them that the Germans were coming to get him in his family. Lisa walks in and Erik rounds up his grandparents to the living room. Eriks grandmother walks over to Lisa and offers some food. As the grandmother starts walking back to the kitchen Lisa tells her that Anne sent her. She gets the attention of the grandmother and then says that the Germans are rounding up all the jews.

The grandmother didn't want to leave her house dirty for the Germans and insisted that she clean the mess up. Lisa asks her if she has anywhere to stay. The grandmother suggests to her friend that she plays cards twice a week, Ilse. The grandmother goes to get her coat on and talk with Ilse.

According to Lisa Erik looked very stubborn; she tells him that the next train is at twelve and that they needed to be on it. He tells her that he's not jewish anymore and continues to sit there. Lisa gets fed up and slaps him twice across the face. The grandfather over here's what's happening and tells Erik to go pack. Iti takes some time but Erik goes and packs.

They get to the train station and get on the 12 oclock train. As they get on, three German soldiers get on with them. Lisa tried to move to another part of the train but one of the soldiers grabbed her and laughed. She broke free and went to another part of the train.

1.“I remember I was dreaming about a bee. A giant bumblebee. It was buzzing in my ear; it was going to sting me. I opened my eyes and sat up with a start, but the buzzing didn’t stop.” (p. 1)

The context to this quotation is lisa having a dream about a bumblebee buzzing in her ear when really it was the planes flying above their house.

2. “I leap off, dragging my bag, run into the grass and trees beside the stop, and finish throwing up. Then I sink down by my sack. I’m weak, I’m shaking. I think I’m crying, and my mouth tastes terrible. I want to go home. How did I get myself into this? I think back to the streetcar. All those people – they saved me. Maybe they saved my life.” (p. 29)

he had realized that if the people on the bus didn't help her then she would have been dead. she is worried that it will happen again when she is trying to send out the leaflets.

3. “She whispers to me, ‘That was for Mama and Papa. But it was only the first.’ She’s actually enjoying herself.

A chill runs down my spine. My God, I think, these Germans are dragging us all down to their level. How will we keep ourselves better than them?” (p.46)

She thinks that everyone is going crazy because the Germans are dragging them down and they are killing each other.

4. “ ‘No, Father, it can’t be!’ I cry. I’m not willing to accept what he’s getting at. What does it matter that we are Jewish? I don’t feel any different than anyone else, and I’m not treated differently. Now will I have to be only a Jew? Is being a Jew all that’s important about me? The very name Eichmann makes me feel sick to my stomach.” (p. 57)

Lisa doesn't want to be a Jew because it could get her killed and she feels like people only are worried for her because she's a Jew.

5.“ ‘I’m afraid there will be no service tonight at the synagogue,’ Father continues. ‘Rabbi Melchior told everyone at the early service that he’ll be closing the  synagogue. He’s going on holiday.’

I almost laugh. The rabbi going on holiday on Rosh Hashanah?

Then it hits me.” (p.62)

She figures out that the Germans are trying to kill the Jews.

Chapter 9:
If I was in Lisa suituition I wouldn't really know what to do. If Erin came up to me with a gun that she had just killed someone with I would have just froze. Lisa haddle that pretty well for still being a kid and knowing that your friend killed someone.

Dear Abby, I have a problem. My dad is a doctor and we don't know if he should treat the German soldiers. I gave him an idea which he thought was good but what if it gets him or us killed? Can you tell me if we made a good idea and if not can you tell us what to do?
One night I was trying to sleep (which I couldn't since the Germans invaded) when I overheard my mom and dad talking. They were arguing about if he should treat the Germans when they come into the hospital and my mom was yelling at him because if he doesn't treat them they will kill him and our family. Eavesdropping has been a regular thing since the invasion. I wake into their room and interrupt the conviction and I tell him to mistreat the German soldiers. He should give them the wrong medicine that could kill them or make them sick. He tells me that it is a really good idea and he does it. I walk back to bed and try to sleep but I can't. i keep on thinking what happens when the germans find out. i don't sleep for hours.
Please Abby let me know if I made the right decision. Am I putting my family in danger?

Sincerely, doctor's daughter.

The main message from the author would be that war is pointless and it is useless and usually war leads to nothing and people waste years of their life towards a war where they don't get what they were fighting for. In the poem he says that he faced an enemy and he shot him because the enemy was going to shoot him. He also said that the person he shot could easily sit down with him and have a beer with the person.

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the chapter it seems normal a few new things happend like people are more aware of the nazis and what they are doing and that tnere is about 6-7 bombings in a day, the germans are going crazy about the resistence. Lisa started to worry about Susanne because she left after breakfast and didn't say anything about where she was going. Lisa is now 15 and Sarah the baby can now say a few words.

Jesper took Lisa out for her birthday and they saw a performance and the guy putting on the performance made a joke about the German salute. He did the salute and said “Have you seen my dog, he's this big” then he got chased and smuggled out of the back of the theater. And everyone laughed hard.

Lisa's house door slams and susanne runs into their room and pulls a gun out of her purse and lisa gets up and slams her bedroom door and asks her where she was and what she had been doing. Susanne tells her about the two men they met when they were following stafen are now dead. The men who died were talking to a new member of the group, and susanne and stafen were suspisos and they saw the new member meet a german soldier then susanne shot him and now jesper and stefan are getting rid of the body in the ocean. Susanne asks Lisa where they should put the gun and Lisa thinks about the loose floor bored in her closet that no one has fixed. Lisa opens it up and there are already 6 guns in the spot and they add susannes gun to the pile. The fact that Susanne shot someone is now just appearing to Lisa and she thinks about if she could kill someone like susanne did.

Not too long after Lisa finished her thought, there was a pound on the door. Erik yells for someone to let him in. He walks in and yells that the Germans are taking over. Lisa and Susanne look at him like he's crazy and one of them says that he is a few years too late. He says that they declared martial law, they are arresting the police, chief rabbi and they are taking over the army. They are sinking their own ships instead of the Germans blowing them up and while he was walking to Lisa's house they started shooting people for no reason and one of the people was 10 years old and was killed. Erik and Susanne start arruging about Erik not caring and Susanne not coporated with the Nazis.

Lisa's mom and stefan came home very late but her dad didn't come home.

Predictions for chapter 10:

1. Lisa’s dad was caught mistreating and the Germans killed him

2. Jesper was killed on his way home from dumping the body

Questions:

1. Was Stefan and Jesper able to throw the body away?

2. Is Erik going to stay with Lisa and them for a while?

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the chapter, Stefan and Lisa thought they walked into the wrong apartment because they heard a baby crying. They open the door and they see their Dad carrying and gently rocking a baby. They then see their mother walk in with a bottle of milk for the baby. Lisa looks at the baby differently than Stefan. Stefan asks if it’s the baby of the people who were shot in the hospital and the Dad nods. The baby’s mother was sure she was going to have a girl and never picked out a boy’s name. She named the baby, Sarah. They begin to arrange their schedules to manage carrying for the baby by helping each other. Lisa is a bit overwhelmed by the baby and begins to cry.

Later on in the night, she’s thinking about her new “baby sister” and wondering if she will be able to stay with them after the war is done. Lisa suddenly hears a big explosion that rocks their whole building. She jumps out of her bed and runs to check the windows. Her Mom screams at her and Stefan because they had not turned off the lights. Lisa ran around the house turning off all of the lights and then looked out the window. They see a huge fire a few blocks away, where Susanne lives. Lisa began feeling very nervous, but tried to brush it off until there was a knock at the door. Her stomach dropped and she raced to the door. When she opened it, Susanne was standing there covered in dirt. All of her hair was burned and her scalp charred. Her clothes were ripped and she’s covered in blisters which turn out to be severe burns. Lisa started to scream, but Stefan quickly covered her mouth so the Germans wouldn’t hear them.

Lisa’s Dad and Stefan raced Susanne to the hospital and Lisa couldn’t rest until she heard an update on her condition. Stefan came home to report that Lisa’s burns were not as bad as they originally thought, but sadly, Susanne’s parents died.

Predictions for chapter 9:

Lisa, stafen and susanne are smuggling guns

Lisa finds out a huge secret that stafen had

Susanne dies

Questions:

1. Is Susanne going to live with them?

2. Does Lisa take care of her new baby sister?

At the start of the chapter Lisa is in a hospital and she's talking about how bright it is and how she can't sleep. She then starts talking about her 14th birthday and a lot happened.

March 14, 1942: Lisa was feeling very pretty with her new dress made out of a parachute that Stafen brought her, and her white gloves.

She was talking about her jacket made out of cardboard and other scraps and that it was uncomfortable to wear when she overhears her dad come home early then he was supposed to come home so she started eavesdropping.

She heard her dad was very upset and he sounded odd, her dad started to say that the family was delivering a baby and he went to go clean his hands after he delivered the baby when the German soldiers killed everyone in the operating room and that no one survived not even the mother, she was shot right through the head. After she heard that she was shocked, then Erik came to go get her to her birthday party so they went.

After the party they were walking home when Erik and stafen got in a fight and Lisa told Erik to run and he did. Lisa then told stafen that his anger was going to get him in trouble with the germans.

Questions:

1. Will Lisa’s dad bring the baby home?

2. How long will Erik and Stafen be mad at each other?

At the start of chapter 4, Lisa cornered her brother, stafen in his room asking him to be a part of the resistance. After stafen told her that she could join the resistance they went to school and the school was laced with barbed wire and there were prisoners in the area that were starving. Erik tried talking to the prisoners and the prisoners wouldn't answer him. Erik tried Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, French, and German.

At the end of chapter 4 Safen told Lisa that she was going to volunteer to get the laundry but instead of going to get the regular laundry she went to get the leaflets and spread them out on street cars.

At the start of chapter 5 Lisa was walking to the Nansens laundry and she was smiling at the fact  that her mom's face was so shocked when she offered to get the laundry. Once Lisa got the laundry she got on the bus and sat down. She opened the bag and looked at the papers then two German soldiers walked on the bus and she started getting more nervous. She went to get up at the next stop then threw up on the soldiers and they looked at the bag and her on the ground and then the people on the bus helped her off the bus.

She got on another bus and dropped a pile of the leaflets and she did that on every bus until the bag was empty and she brought the bag back and then she went home and told her brother about the soldiers and they laughed about her throwing up on the German soldiers.

Questions:

1. Will she get caught?

2. Will she become different as a person when she works with the resistance?

In this chapter Lisa is having trouble sleeping and she overhears her parents talking. She's trying to sleep but keeps picturing the German soldiers and tries to think of something happier. Lisa’s family was ordered to put up black blinds on every window in their house. Lisa listens to her parents fight about whether or not he should treat the Germans. The mom said that he would go to jail and get shipped away because he was jewish. Lisa goes cold and doesn't know what to do. Lisa starts to wonder if she should help solve the problem then she walks to her parents room and tells her dad that she's got it. He should keep on treating them but treat them wrong and that he should be very nice but give them the wrong medicine. He then tells her that it is a good idea that the medicine will keep them on bedrest for long enough or it could kill the germans.

In the first chapter the book introduces the family, the mom, the dad, her brother (Stefan), Lisa, and Erik. The chapter starts off with Lisa talking about her dream about a bee and it was buzzing in her ear and it was going to sting her. When she woke up it was still going on. Lisa’s mom is yelling at the father to get up and that's when Lisa knew it wasn't a dream anymore.

Lisa runs to her mom from the living room window. When they look out the window they see lots and lots of planes. Lisa’s dad says ‘Germans’ when he looks out the window at the planes. The brother comes out to look out the window and then turns on the radio. The radio said that Denmark had just surrendered to the Germans. The radio also said that life would go on as normal. Stefan is very upset with the news and he's yelling about how they never even tried to fight.

The mom decided to still send the kids to school because the radio said that life would go on as usual, and as the kids left Stefan was so frustrated that they surrendered, that he forgot his lunch. On their way to school they saw their cousin Erik. Erik and Stefan talked about how the king surrendered and then a little bit later Stefan tripped Erik.
