What is The Boy Who Dared: a novel based on the true story of a Hitler Youth about?

<p><br>Bartoletti has taken one episode from her Newbery Honor Book, HITLER YOUTH, and fleshed it out into thought-provoking novel. When 16-year-old Helmuth Hubner listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio, he quickly discovers Germany is lying to the people. But when he tries to expose the truth with leaflets, he's tried for treason. Sentenced to death and waiting in a jail cell, Helmuth's story emerges in a series of flashbacks that show his growth from a naive child caught up in the patriotism of the times, to a sensitive and mature young man who thinks for himself. <P></p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p><P>Returning to material she uncovered while researching <I>Hitler Youth</I>, Bartoletti offers a fictionalized biography of Helmuth H&uuml;bener, a Hamburg teenager who, in February 1942, was arrested for writing and distributing leaflets that denounced Hitler. Almost nine months later, on October 27, at the age of 17, H&uuml;bener was executed for treason. Opening her story on H&uuml;bener's last day, Bartoletti frames the work as third-person flashbacks, casting over the narrative a terrible sense of doom even as she escalates the tension. She does an excellent job
