5.0 out of 5 stars this was a great book and was one of my favorites., 18 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Twenty and Ten (Hardcover)
I first read this book in 4th grade, over 30 years ago. My mother started reading it aloud to my brother but he wouldn`t let her put it down or stop until it was finished, 2 hours later. I am now a teacher and was thrilled to see it in print again. Of course this book will become part of my classroom and personal library. A movie was made based on this book, and although it was good, it didn`t do justice to the book. I recommend this book for literature studies because of the action but also because it teaches the importance of caring for our fellow man.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked the book, 30 May 1998
By A Customer
I'm 14 and loved this book. I have read lots of Holocaust and WWII books, and this is my favorite. Other books I have read are Number The Stars, Daniel's story, Night, and many others. This book is fun to read and makes you feel what the auther feels, better than most books do. This was the first WWII book I read. It got me into these books and I have read it many times again.

4.0 out of 5 stars FRENCH CHILDREN IN UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE, 28 May 1998
By A Customer
Originally published in 1952, this book was reissued by Scholastic in 1969 entitled, THE SECRET CAVE, but the suspenseful story remains untouched. Set in rural France during the Nazi occupation, a brave nun and her 20 French school children agree to hide 10 Jewish children from persecution. These fifth graders perform this humanitarian deed fully aware that their own lives are at risk.

When their teacher (who initiated the protection scheme) is "detained" by Nazis in the village, the children band together to protect their refuge guests and devise a plan not to accidentally reveal their location. How can they prevent each other from blurting out their life-threatening secret, when interrogated by zealous soldiers who offer chocolate bribes?

Can mere children foil the suspicious and brutal Nazis--expert in the tactics of "terror torture"? Based on a real incident, this little book provides serious thought and much literary tension for readers of all ages. Once again, even children can help in an adult world by proving their moral courage when faced with a global evil.
