From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-8-In this third book in the series, Peter and Elise, 12-year-old twins, collaborate with the resistance movement against the Nazi presence in occupied Denmark. Eventually they are arrested for their involvement with the "Free Dane," an illegal newspaper. While in prison they discover that their Uncle Morten, previously arrested, escaped to freedom during an allied bombing. The story is fast paced, and the plot develops quickly. However, although the characters are appealing, they do not have the depth of Lisa and Kris in Carol Matas's Lisa's War (Scribners, 1989), which has a similar setting and plot. In addition, this series includes a religious theme. A good choice for libraries have a need for inspirational or Christian fiction.
