Walsh delivers a gripping story about a real-life youth resistance group in World War II Germany, and about the power of thinking for yourself in the fight against hatred.

And when Angelika becomes involved with secret resistance efforts, Brigitte's questions only bloom.Could Angelika be connected to the White Rose? Is Brigitte's family in danger of being arrested?
