The Girl Who Said No to the Nazis cover

This gripping narrative follows Sophie Scholl and her friends as they courageously resist the Nazi regime, highlighting their bravery and commitment to justice.

In The Girl Who Said No to the Nazis, readers are introduced to Sophie Scholl, a young woman who embodies incredible courage during one of history's darkest times. Arriving in Munich in 1942, Sophie is excited to start her university studies, reconnecting with her brother Hans and forming friendships with fellow students who share her love for jazz, art, and philosophy. However, their passions stand in stark contrast to the oppressive ideologies of the Nazi regime, which views such interests with suspicion and hostility.

As Sophie immerses herself in her studies, she begins to hear whispers about a clandestine group known as The White Rose. This group, composed of brave individuals willing to challenge the fascist government, begins distributing incendiary leaflets that boldly protest the regime's betrayals and atrocities. Sophie soon realizes that her new circle of friends is not just united by their artistic interests but also by a shared desire to resist the oppressive forces around them.

Drawn into the world of rebellion, Sophie finds herself compelled to take action. As she becomes an integral part of The White Rose, she faces the harrowing reality of defiance in Nazi Germany. The Girl Who Said No to the Nazis is a poignant tale of bravery, friendship, and the fight for justice, highlighting the power of individual courage in the face of tyranny.

Cracking illustrations, true life stories in the vein of the Ladybird books but more substantial ... brilliantly written by proper writers * Frank Cottrell-Boyce *
