This novel in verse tells the story of the White Rose movement mainly through the eyes of Sophie Scholl. While I have read other books on the topic including We Will Not Be Silent which was on the MSBA list a few years ago, I found this to be very touching and compelling. Verse has a way of making a text seem simple and yet profound as well. I really enjoyed the format of the book which went back and forth in time, especially at the end which went back to the mid 1930s and Sophie and her brother's initial feelings toward the Reich. Very well done.
