Deeply ashamed of his nation's leaders, fifteen-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to take action against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots in the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who eventually had the boys tracked down and arrested. But their efforts were not in vain: the boys' exploits and eventual imprisonment helped spark a full-blown Danish resistance. Interweaving his own narrative with the recollections of Knud himself, \u003ci\u003eThe Boys Who Challenged Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e is National Book Award winner Phillip Hoose's inspiring story of these young war heroes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhillip Hoose\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eClaudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, a National Book Award winner, a Newbery Honor Book, a Robert F.
