«¿Eres valiente, pequeña Annemarie?» Es 1943 y, para Annemarie Johansen, la vida en Copenhague es una mezcla complicada de dÃas normales en casa y en la escuela, escasez de alimentos y la presencia constante de soldados nazis. La valentÃa parece una virtud lejana, que aparece solo en los cuentos de hadas que le narra por las noches a su hermanita Kirsti. Cuando los nazis comienzan a «reubicar» a todos los judÃos de Dinamarca, los Johansen acogen a Ellen, la mejor amiga de Annemarie, y fingen que es de la familia. Las niñas viven como hermanas, hasta que es necesario hacer algo más para salvar a Ellen, a su familia y a los judÃos de Dinamarca. En este relato sobre el heroÃsmo de toda una nación, la historia de la Resistencia danesa y su plan para conducir en secreto a los casi siete mil judÃos daneses a través del mar hasta Suecia, se narra con orgullo y esperanza desde la mirada de una preadolescente. «Una obra impecable, conmovedora y trascendente: imposible de soltar y difÃcil de olvidar». --The Horn Book ★ Obras maestras de la literatura estadounidense en español ★ Ganadores de la Medalla Newbery apreciados por diferentes generaciones ★ Seleccionados por docentes y alineados con programas de lectura y planes de estudio ★ Ideales para maestros, bibliotecas, familias y lectores bilingües ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ""Are you brave, little Annemarie?"" It is 1943, and for Annemarie Johansen, life in Copenhagen is a complicated mix of ordinary days at home and at school, food shortages, and the constant presence of Nazi soldiers. Courage seems like a distant virtue, one that appears only in the fairy tales told to her younger sister Kirsti at bedtime. When the Nazis begin to ""relocate"" all the Jews of Denmark, the Johansens take in Ellen, Annemarie's best friend, and pretend she is part of the family. The girls live like sisters until it becomes necessary to do something more to save Ellen, her family, and the Jews of Denmark. In this story about the heroism of an entire nation, the tale of the Danish Resistance and its plan to secretly lead nearly seven thousand Danish Jews across the sea to Sweden is told with pride and hope through the eyes of a young girl. ""A flawless, moving, and transcendent work: impossible to put down and difficult to forget."" --The Horn Book ★ Masterpieces of American literature, now available in Spanish ★ Newbery Medal winners cherished by generations of readers ★ Selected as Teachers' Picks for classroom and reading program excellence ★ Ideal for teachers, libraries, families, and bilingual readers
