First edition of Lowry's first Newbery Award-winning novel. Octavo, original cloth, blue endpapers. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Helen Lois Lowry 1997." Fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life. "The whole work is seamless, compelling, and memorable—impossible to put down; difficult to forget" (The Horn Book).
