This is such a well written book that shows the how a bunch of youth helped during the resistance against the Nazis.
I didn't realize this was the second book but I will go back to read the first one.
I liked the look at how these youth still had faith and used scriptures throughout to help guide and lift them up.
A beautiful middle grade novel about WWII for adults and youth alike to read.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

I didn’t realise at first that this was the second in a series, but it honestly didn’t matter reading the books out of order - and if I can find it I will go and read book one now, because the stuff alluded to all sounded very exciting!

If you like Enid Blyton then you’ll love this I reckon because it felt very much like The Famous Five Foil the Nazis. It’s thrilling and adventurous and full of a lot of perilous situations, but all with that slightly unrealistic tint that only a kids book can have, where young teenagers can outsmart the villains and get away with things that surely would have gotten them killed by the Gestapo had this been real. There’s also the idiotic mayor’s son who is such a bumbling prat that his idiocy makes you shake your head!

I read a lot of WWII books and this one was a fun change from the usual fare - younger protagonists written for a younger audience, and while there were still a lot of dark themes, there were much more narrow escapes and happily ever afters than usual. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it had me on the edge of my seat on many occasions!

TIME FOR COURAGE by ROB CURRIE tells an exciting story of the courage of teenagers who are part of the Dutch resistance during the second world war, helping save Jewish children from the Nazi war machine. It is a beautifully written novel that is just as suitable for adults as it is for children, full of adventure, courage and quick thinking. I particularly like the way the Ingelse children demonstrate the faith and prayer life their parents have taught them, and the scriptures that give them courage.
I cannot recommend this exciting and inspirational read strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Tyndale House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
