Description
During the Second World War, the Netherlands was under Nazi control, and any acts of resistance were punishable by death. For Michiel, a 16-year-old boy, the occupation felt like a constant threat. When he's asked to care for a wounded British Spitfire pilot, he takes on the responsibility without hesitation. As he works to help those in danger, Michiel joins a secret struggle against the Nazis, knowing the risks are high and spies are everywhere. Michiel's actions put him in grave danger, but he's driven by a desire to protect others and bring an end to the occupation. Based on the author's own experiences growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland, this story is a powerful and thrilling account of one boy's bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. This gripping adventure story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for courage and resilience in the darkest of times.
