We often hear of the French Resistance and the Dutch Resistance, but this story gives a new perspective of those occupation years. The help provided by the Grand Mosque of Paris, the Muslim community and our young (fictional) heroine is fresh, courageous and nail-biting and will be a welcome addition to the WWII stories that have been so popular at school of late.

I think this book also offers an important message of cooperation and respect between Muslim and Jewish people during times of hardship and conflict in the face of the current Israeli/Middle East events.
Thanks to Ruth at LMERC for the recommendation.
