Explanation To Books The Boy Who Dared
A youth in Nazi Germany tells the truth about Hitler. Bartoletti has taken one episode from her Newbery Honor Book, Hitler Youth, and fleshed it out into a full novel. When 16-year-old Helmut Hubner listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio, he quickly discovers Germany is lying to the people. But when he tries to expose the truth with leaflets, he's tried for treason. Sentenced to death and waiting in a jail cell, Helmut's story emerges in a series of flashbacks that show his growth from a naive child caught up in the patriotism of the times, to a sensitive and mature young man who thinks for himself.

This book really showed me what it was like in the holocaust time. I really think this book is very great for all ages.A good YA book based on a true story of a German boy who spoke out against Nazi propaganda, was branded a traitor and was executed. The author did a nice job of showing what it was like living in Germany in the 1930s while Hitler was coming to power. The book is a good introduction to World War II, and I think it would be useful reading for history students.
The story is told in flashbacks as Helmuth awaits his execution by the NAZIs. The author discovered this true story and included it in her book Hitler Youth. The story moves between Helmuth's in prison and what he did to get there. The author tells the story in a distanced third person narration that suits the factual base of the story. I found it compelling to read as I wonder what did he do to end in prison. The author also mixes a bit of German to help anchor the story. The story does an
This story resonates so much because it's based on a true account of a young man named Helmuth during World War II. He is a patriotic German and can see why Hitler could be good for the country. Just like many others he gets sweeped up with the hysteria of a new hope for the broken down Germany. Slowly but surely though he comes to see what the whole regime is really about.The book flips perspectives from the present to memories Helmuth has leading up to why he is in jail. The voice of the
Very interesting take on what it was like to be an unsupportive German in WWII, and to learn that its based on a true story! Remarkable.
This book was okay considering that I don't like Historical Fiction in general. It started off with Hellmuith, a boy who was trapped in jail by the Nazi for disobeying the laws. While he is in jail he recalls all his childhood events. Eventually you lead up into how he got sent to jail, which was because he was listening to foreign radio stations and writing the news on leaflets then sending them out to public. Eventually he gets caught, because he asked someone to translate it, but then he told
What does Fahrenheit 451, The Gulag Archipelago, 1984, and The Hiding Place or perhaps you have heard of these people: Anne Frank, Corrie Ten Boom, Dietrich Bonnehoffer, and Martin Niemoeller have in common w/The Boy Who Dared. These books and people, all deal with theTheme of good people in controlling societies or government taking a stand against evil. Ms. Bartoletti brings to life the true story of a young Hitler youth who dared to take a stand against the NAZI Government of Germany.The
