Hitler`s Canary

It`s April 1940 and German troops are pouring onto the streets of Denmark. 12-year-old Bamse is ordered by his father to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. But Bamse and his daring friend Anton can`t resist playing the occasional practical joke on the invading soldiers. When it becomes clear that the trouble isn`t just going to pass them by, the people of Denmark decide to take action and Bamse and his eccentric family are about to take part in one of history`s most dramatic rescues – smuggling Denmark`s Jewish population, across the water to Sweden, and safety. Many of the characters are based on Sandi`s own family, including her father, Bamse, and the book was inspired by the stories her told to her.
