In a time when the world is consumed by Nazi philosophy, one group of teens is willing to risk it all to oppose the rise of evil.

Klaus Volk is a young boy born on the day Adolf Hitler first tried to take over Germany in 1923. Growing up in 1930s Germany, Klaus watches as his own brother embraces beliefs he despises and his family is torn apart. His parents and friends inspire him to take it upon himself to fight to free Germany from Hitler's grasp, and he and his friends form an alliance to frustrate and irritate the rising fascist powers in their hometown of Munich. When the iron grip of the Third Reich tightens, they decide to flee to the countryside, and find new and inventive ways to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves. Klaus and his friends follow in the footsteps of the real Edelweiss Pirates, risking everything to save those they love.

Follow Klaus Volk's inspiring journey as he attempts to free his family, friends, and nation from the grips of madness. Similar to The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, if you enjoyed that book, you'll love this one.

NOTE: This book contains depictions of violence and Holocaust and pre-WWII German treatment of ethnic groups such as Jewish citizens, Romani, and Homosexuals, among others. While these acts are shown for the evil that they are, they may be unsettling for some readers.
