Title: Courage & Defiance

Subtitle: Stories of Spies, Saboteurs, and Survivors in World War II Denmark

Author: Deborah Hopkinson

Narrator: David de Vries, Deborah Hopkinson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-19-16

Publisher: Scholastic Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Critically acclaimed Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson brings to bold life the remarkable story of the Danish resistance and rescue of over 7,000 Jews during WWII.

When the Nazis invaded Denmark the morning of Tuesday, April 9, 1940, the people of this tiny country to the north of Germany awoke to a devastating surprise. The government of Denmark surrendered quietly, and the Danes were ordered to go about their daily lives as if nothing had changed. But everything had changed.

Award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson traces the stories of the heroic young men and women who would not stand by as their country was occupied. Rather, they fought back. Some were spies passing tactical information to the British; some were saboteurs who aimed to hamper and impede Nazi operations in Denmark; and 95 percent of the Jewish population of Denmark were survivors, rescued by their fellow countrymen who had the courage and conscience that drove them to act.

With her extraordinary talent for digging deep in her research and weaving real voices into her narratives, Hopkinson reveals the thrilling truth behind one of WWII's most daring resistance movements.

Title: The Knights' Tales Collection

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table.

Sir Lancelot the Great

Of these worthy knights, there was never one so fearless, so chivalrous, so honorable, soshiny as the dashing Sir Lancelot, who was quite good at defending the helpless and protecting the weak, just as long as hed had his afternoon nap.

Sir Givret the Short

Poor Givret: His size makes him so easy to overlook. But theres more to knighthood than height, and before long, Givrets quick thinking lands him a place at the famous Round Table!

Sir Gawain the True

The knights didnt always act quite as gallantly as a true knight should. Even King Arthurs nephew, known at that time as Sir Gawain the Undefeated, was too full of himself to accept a token of thanks from a rescued princess! Someone needed to teach Sir Gawain that courtesy and friendship are just as important as strength and courage.

Sir Balin the Ill-Fated

While most of King Arthurs knights freely chose a life of duty, for Sir Balin the Ill-Fated, destiny was foretold in a prophecy. Still, no matter how dire the task, a loyal and gallant knight never refuses adventure!
