As the German troops begin their campaign to “relocate” all the Jews of Denmark, the Johansens take in Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen Rosen, and pretend she is part of the family. The girls live like sisters, until it becomes clear something more needs to be done to save Ellen, her family, and the Jews of Denmark.

And one day, they come home to a wonderful surprise—a new friend named Tib. Ever since their first publication in the 1940s, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.
