German Sophie Scholl isn’t happy about the ways her country
is changing on the brink of war. She sees her brothers and friends enlist and
fight, but she doesn’t understand or support what is tearing her nation apart and
feels there must be something she can do to lift her voice against the injustices
happening around her. When she finds a secret resistance group who take up
letter writing campaigns criticizing the Nazis and calling for action against
them, she knows this is something she needs to be involved with, no matter the
consequences.
A novel in verse, White Rose is a captivating and unique historical
fiction about a real, lesser known resistance group during World War II. This book, about a brave group who stood up for their beliefs against a tyrannical government, is a timely reminder that injustice doesn’t have to be accepted silently, and
that even the smallest of us can use our voices for change.
