Resistance


Jablonski, Carla. Resistance. First Second, 2010.

This story takes place in Vichy France, the "free" part of France that was initially unoccupied during WWII. The main characters take part in a resistance effort in order to rescue their family from the Germans.

My students are very interested in WWII, so this book will be a popular one. The illustrations are well done, and this book would be a great supplement to a unit on WWII.

Recommended for: teens and tweens
Red Flags: none
Overall Rating: 4/5 stars
