This short WWII novel, written by Yona Zeldis McDonough is a great introduction into the world of Occupied France. Marcel's parents are members of the resistance who secretly fight against Nazi Germany and the French who help them. He becomes a spy himself, helping pass notes hideen in loaves of bread his parents make. When a new friend's secret is revelaed, his courage and honor are put to the test. I found this to be an exciting story, although written in a very simple style. Students who are fans of historical fiction will enjoy this. (FIC MCD)
