For eleven-year-old Peter Andersen and his twin sister Elise, living in the city of Helsingor, Denmark during World War 2 means German soldiers in the streets, German patrol boats in the harbor, and German fighter planes in the sky. Everyone is nervous, especially their Jewish friend Henrik and his parents. Of course, before the invasion, no one in Denmark cared whether a person was Jewish. But now the Nazis are secretly rounding up all of the Jews who live in Denmark and sending them to prison camps in Germany. Suddenly, Henrik and his family must escape! Sweden offers the only place of refuge, but with soldiers lurking the streets and Nazi boats patrolling the sea, only a miracle can get the Jews to safety!

A Way Through the Sea Young Underground Book 1 edition by Robert Elmer Children eBooks Reviews
My 8 year old daughter LOVES these books. We are so happy when they come up as a free book because it is a nice surprise. However, we willingly pay for them also when necessary. Good, clean Christian book with lots of adventure and history. Highly recommend!
I read this to my grandson who thought the Adventures Down Under were better. My opinion is the author writes about interesting topics in a way that captures the imagination of the reader. Highly recomended.
Good for young and old.
11 year old twins, brother and sister, and the brother's best friend, having summer fun in their Denmark homeland. What could be sweeter? Except it's Nazi occupied Denmark, and their friend is Jewish.
I so enjoyed this book. I have read the historical reports of how the Danish people all worke together to save the some 7,000 living in Denmark. Hitler had promised that even though they occupied the country he would not harm their Jewish people. He broke his promise and in just 48 hours the Danish people hid the Jew,s or got them across the sea to Sweden. Because they did the right thing only a few hundred were captured, that was bad but had they done nothing most would have been lost.
This story involves a family with twin 11yr olds, Peter and Elise. Peter's best friend is Jewish. Peter's uncle
has a fishing business and is working for the underground. When the time comes it is such an exciting story of strength and courage you cannot put it down. The rescue comes at a great cost but also reminds us that for evil to win good people do nothing. The Danish people did something.
The children were also training carrier pigeons at the time to race and carry messages. They had some close calls with the Nazi's and could have gotten into big trouble as everything was so closely watched at the times. I don't want to tell you much more as it is such and exciting read and I would spoil it for you.
This should be a must read for everyone.
I chose to read this series because of my Danish ancestors. I have also visited Denmark, and like WWII history. This book is written for the pre-teen, but even at 60 years old I enjoyed this book. The author does a very good job of describing the surroundings and events. I have read #2 in this series and I plan on reading all 6 books! I would recommend it to pre-teens and those of us with an interest in Denmark. An easy read for adults!
This book series is my all time favorite to have my teen aged students read. Solid history, wonderful narrative, good characterizations, and thoroughly faithful to the most holy faith.
