A Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Honor Winner

At the outset of World War II, Denmark did not resist German occupation. Deeply ashamed of his nation's leaders, fifteen-year-old Knud Pedersen resolved with his brother and a handful of schoolmates to take action against the Nazis if the adults would not. Naming their secret club after the fiery British leader, the young patriots in the Churchill Club committed countless acts of sabotage, infuriating the Germans, who eventually had the boys tracked down and arrested. But their efforts were not in vain: the boys' exploits and eventual imprisonment helped spark a full-blown Danish resistance. Interweaving his own narrative with the recollections of Knud himself, The Boys Who Challenged Hitler is National Book Award winner Phillip Hoose's inspiring story of these young war heroes.

This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.

Comfortable and soft zip up hoodie.
Size: Medium, Color: Grey Heather Full Zip
Light weight , soft and very comfortable. I am 5ft 10in 155 lbs and the medium fit true to size. No shrinkage after several washes and dry cycles. Quality appears to be decent with no pills after several washes . Based on this I ordered a second one.

Great Price, Great Hoodie!
Size: X-Large, Color: Red Full Zip
Gave these to kids for Christmas. The price was right and there are so many colors! The fit is true to size and the colors are vibrant. They are on the thin size, but we like them that way. Not to hot, not to cold. The stitching is average but the fabric used makes up for that as these hoodies are sooo soft! Sooo comfortable to wear. We will definitely be ordering more when these wear out for sure. Recommended!

Comfy and warm for everyday wear
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Full Zip
I bought this Fruit of the Loom Eversoft Fleece Hoodie for my husband and he realy likes how soft it feels on the inside. The fabric is thick enough to keep him warm during his morning walks but it is still breathable so he doesnt get too sweaty while he is moving around. It has that moisture-wicking feature which is great because it stays dry even when it is a bit humid outside. The fit is just right and the hood stays up good without being too tight around his neck. It is hard to find hoodies that dont pill up after the first wash but this one has held up great so far and still looks brand new. For the price it is a total steal and much better quality than some of the more expensive brands we have tried before. I will definitely be ordering a few more colors for him soon.
