Beschreibung

“Newbery Honor winner Preus . . . delivers a riveting story about teenage freedom fighters in WWII Norway” (Publishers Weekly). 
 
After Nazi Germany invades and occupies Norway, fourteen-year-old Espen and his friends are swept up in the Norwegian resistance movement. Espen gets his start by delivering illegal newspapers, then graduates to the role of courier and finally becomes a spy, dodging the Gestapo along the way. During five years under the Nazi regime, Espen, his sister, and their parents live in fear of nighttime raids and arrests, and they begin to question the loyalties of the people around them. Espen gains—and loses—friends, falls in love, and makes one small mistake that threatens to catch up with him as he sets out to escape on skis over the mountains to Sweden . . .  
 
Award-winning author Margi Preus crafts a thrilling adventure based on the real-life experiences of Erling Storrusten, a Norwegian spy during World War II. 
 
Praise for Shadow on the Mountain

“A morally satisfying page turner.” —Kirkus Reviews

This softy-illustrated book teaches young readers about Jesus' birth and the real meaning of Christmas. “Happy Birthday, Jesus! We celebrate Your birth in the town of Bethlehem when You came down to earth. Your mother, Mary, held you. A manger was Your bed. The cows and sheep were quiet as she gently kissed Your head. Your father, Joseph, marveled. He knew You were the One. For God had sent a Savior—His one and only Son.  The shepherds had been watching their flocks that quiet night. When an angel appeared, they were terrified with fright. ‘Do not be afraid. For I bring to you good news: Today a Savior has been born!' And then the shepherds knew. Happy Birthday, Jesus! We give You all the praise.  We celebrate Your birthday on this glorious Christmas day.”  Rhyming text coupled with gorgeous artwork will make this story a family favorite.
