- "The true story of a group of boy resistance fighters in Denmark after the Nazi invasion"--
- "At the outset of World War II, Denmark did not resist German occupation.

But their efforts were not in vain: the boys' exploits and eventual imprisonment helped spark a full-blown Danish resistance. Interweaving his own narrative with the recollections of Knud himself, here is Phil Hoose's inspiring story of these young war heroes"--
