The Klipfish Code

The year is 1942. Twelve year old Marit lives with her family in a small town in Norway when the country is attacked by Germany. When her parents join the Resistance, Marit and her brother Lars are sent to a nearby island to live with relatives. This suspenseful story by Mary Casanova brings attention to a country not often featured in fiction about World War II. It is a story of heroism and perserverance, is a real page-turner, and could be the basis of class discussion about the historical events as well as broader themes of human dignity and endurance.
