Action packed. Another moving MG/YA historical fiction by Nielsen.

MY RATING⇢ 4 STARS | GRADE B+
The story started out strong for me, I was really feeling it, but somewhere along the way it lost something, it felt bogged down, a little sluggish even...it could be just the subject matter itself, though. Overall, it was a decent look at the resistance fighters in WWII and how difficult it was for them.

📚yes. I‘m more open to history, futuristic, magical realism

Finished and sent off the last two #lmpbc books two weeks ago.
Resistance was @LibrarianRyan ‘s pick. I LOVED this book! The action kept things moving along at a nice pace & holds the attention of younger readers, while still keeping the history lessons intact. I remember reading and enjoying Anne Frank as a child, but I think this book is going to resonate better as an engaging, contemporary read for kids who may not have enjoyed Anne Frank.
A middle school book on the resistance during WWII and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Well done for a middle school book
"Maybe when the world opens its eyes to what has been done to us, they will realize how destructive hate can be."
"Maybe. But they'll forget again in time. And when they forget, this will all start once more."
Audio-crochet time 😍
Found this audiobook on Spotify. I don't read a lot of ww2 books, but give me a badass female lead and I'm in everytime.
Also, can't wait to deck out this bag in bookish enamel pins 😏

Dear #LPMBC #mg group. You are going to notice a small problem with the book when I send it out. Demon (the puppy) actually took it out of the book sleeve to chew on it. 🤬. None of the words have been hurt, just the upper corner of the pages.
This puppy has been chewing on everything. And yes she has a TON of chew toys and bones. Doesn‘t matter. 😤. I love her 99% of the time. She is adorable. But...... NOT MY BOOKS.

2. I can‘t remember the name but it was about the coal fire and sickness in local counties a few years ago.

Okay #groupi. I just want to check that I have this correct. If it‘s wrong please let me know.
@Readergrrl The Girl who drank the Moon - literary fantasy/magic
@WanderingBookaneer to Night Owl from Dog Fish -realistic
@MeganAnn The Iron Trial - full on fantasy
Me- Resistance- historical fiction.
Nice mix of general and literary tastes.

I just saw A Mighty Girl post on Facebook about this book. Anybody read it yet?
Really good lots of action.
“May we never forget. May we live with honor at all times, regardless of our circumstances. And may we choose love, a weapon that will defeat hate every single time. Love is the resistance.”
It was absolutely lovely meeting Jennifer Nielsen ❤️She was so gracious and took the time to chat with every one of her readers. #nationalbookfestival2018
Although I have heard of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, this YA novel is the first I‘ve read on this topic. Nielsen‘s novel is well researched- another great addition to the large collection of WWII books already published
