Overview"When Nazis invade, what can kids do to fight them? World War II has taken its toll on the French countryside. German soldiers patrol the towns, searching for any challenge to their rule. The Tessier siblings, Paul, Marie, and Sophie, keep their noses clean and their faces blank as the French military police tighten their grip on their small country town. But all three are secretly doing their part for the Resistance: the men and women working hard to undermine the Germans and win back France's freedom . . . even if it ends up costing them their lives. Written by Carla Jablonski and illustrated by Leland Purvis, Defiance is the second volume in a trilogy about children fighting on a secret front of World War II. ""Purvis's bright, clear drawings illustrate a fairly basic story. The history lesson is made dynamic and interesting for young readers throughout."" - Publishers Weekly" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Carla Jablonski , Leland PurvisPublisher: Roaring Brook Press Imprint: First Second Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 1.00cm , Length: 21.60cm Weight: 0.249kg ISBN: 9781596432925ISBN 10: 1596432926 Pages: 128 Publication Date: 19 July 2011 Recommended Age: From 12 to 18 years Audience: General/trade , Young adult , General , Teenage / Young adult Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Out of Print Availability: In Print  Limited stock is available.
