A youth in Nazi Germany tells the truth about Hitler.

Bartoletti has taken one episode from her Newbery Honor Book, Hitler Youth, and fleshed it out into a full novel.

When 16-year-old Helmut Hubner listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio, he quickly discovers Germany is lying to the people. But when he tries to expose the truth with leaflets, he's tried for treason. Sentenced to death and waiting in a jail cell, Helmut's story emerges in a series of flashbacks that show his growth from a naive child caught up in the patriotism of the times, to a sensitive and mature young man who thinks for himself.

Commentary Epithetical Books The Boy Who Dared

The Holocaust was an inconceivably grotesque and tragic instance of human brutality and evil. Forcing children to read YET ANOTHER mediocre Holocaust narrative merely reduces to hackneyed trope the horribly personal saga of over 10 million victims and countless other perpetrators, witnesses and everyday citizens. Can't create a decent character with believable motivations? Stick him in the Holocaust and the drama of external events will carry the story and wash over your dull prose with the

This story resonates so much because it's based on a true account of a young man named Helmuth during World War II. He is a patriotic German and can see why Hitler could be good for the country. Just like many others he gets sweeped up with the hysteria of a new hope for the broken down Germany. Slowly but surely though he comes to see what the whole regime is really about.The book flips perspectives from the present to memories Helmuth has leading up to why he is in jail. The voice of the

What does Fahrenheit 451, The Gulag Archipelago, 1984, and The Hiding Place or perhaps you have heard of these people: Anne Frank, Corrie Ten Boom, Dietrich Bonnehoffer, and Martin Niemoeller have in common w/The Boy Who Dared. These books and people, all deal with theTheme of good people in controlling societies or government taking a stand against evil. Ms. Bartoletti brings to life the true story of a young Hitler youth who dared to take a stand against the NAZI Government of Germany.The

A good YA book based on a true story of a German boy who spoke out against Nazi propaganda, was branded a traitor and was executed. The author did a nice job of showing what it was like living in Germany in the 1930s while Hitler was coming to power. The book is a good introduction to World War II, and I think it would be useful reading for history students.

As I was reading, the author told the story of Helmuth's life by talking about his life as a young adult and the rewinds too when he was little. The story started off when Helmuth was all grown up and in prison, and then shortly afterwards the story rewinds to when he was younger, then after couple pages it rewinds back to when he's in prison. I really like this style of writing because it interests me how the time of the story constantly shifts from past to present and from present to past.She

Read this to two of my classes during our historical fiction unit. What a whirlwind of emotions felt for Helmuth. Crazy that this was based on a true story. I enjoyed how the historical information was woven throughout the story, as well as the author switching back and forth between past and present for Helmuth. It was nice to get his thoughts as he sat in his prison cell. Great read!

The story is told in flashbacks as Helmuth awaits his execution by the NAZIs. The author discovered this true story and included it in her book Hitler Youth. The story moves between Helmuth's in prison and what he did to get there. The author tells the story in a distanced third person narration that suits the factual base of the story. I found it compelling to read as I wonder what did he do to end in prison. The author also mixes a bit of German to help anchor the story. The story does an
