Inhaltsangabe
It's April 1940 and German troops are pouring onto the streets of Denmark. 12-year-old Bamse is ordered by his father to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. But Bamse and his daring friend Anton can't resist playing the occasional practical joke on the invading soldiers., When it becomes clear that the trouble isn't just going to pass them by, the people of Denmark decide to take action and Bamse and his eccentric family are about to take part in one of history's most dramatic rescues - smuggling Denmark's Jewish population, across the water to Sweden, and safety. Many of the characters are based on Sandi's own family, including her father, Bamse, and the book was inspired by the stories her told to her.

Críticas
"There are not many classic children's novels about the Second World War but this is one of them. Toksvig's enchanting and inspiring tale reminds us of how even the smallest people made a difference" (Amanda Craig The Times)
"There are several heart-stopping moments but overall the story is told with a light touch and many moments of humour" (The Bookseller)
"On the evidence of this warm and enlightening tale, Sandi Toksvig is as skilled at writing for children as she is for adults . . . Toksvig manages to lace the action with plenty of humour but without trivialising the momentous events" (Waterstone's Books Quarterly)
"A must-read for any pupil studying World War II and any pupil looking for a truly remarkable "real-life" story to inspire and delight" (Teaching & Learning)
"A suspenseful, humane story" (Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times)
Contraportada
Bamse is used to drama: his mother is a famous actress, and his best friend Anton is one of the most daring boys in Denmark. When the German troops invade, Bamse doesn't know how to act: should he stay out of trouble - or follow his brother into the resistance and take the most demanding role of his life?
A tale of daring rescue inspired by the experiences of Sandi Tokvig's father during the Second World War.
