Summary: Journey Through the Night
Comment: I remember devouring this book series when I read it for the first time at age 12. Being so deeply affected by the impacting story, I recently sought out the books again sixteen years later and found myself plunged back into the story, coming up for air and food only two days later when I was done.

I appreciate the honesty and yet the hope that is offered in this story. This is shown through the beauty of the human spirit in dark times and also of a God who sees, loves and cares for His people.

I highly recommend this literature.

Summary: Journey Through the Night
Comment: Journey Through The Night is an exciting glimpse into the daily life and struggles of a Dutch family and their community during the German occupation of Holland. Historical fiction at it's best with a continual and sometimes comical reminder of how precious true freedom and family are. It's an easy reading for the whole family and well worth the investment.

Summary: Absolutely BEST Children's Series on WWII Dutch Occupation
Comment: I cannot begin to express my love of this 4-book series. I read it when I was in grade school and have tried to reread the series at least once every few years. However, as I do not own the series, I must interlibrary loan it or borrow it from people who do own it. [This review can also double as a plea to the publisher to republish the series.]

This series was originally written in Dutch by Anne De Vries and was translated into English and published in Canada. The four books are: (v. 1) Into the darkness (v. 2) The darkness deepens (v. 3) Dawn's early light and (v. 4) A new day.

The series traces the German occupation of the Netherlands from 1940 to 1945 during World War II. The books are seen through the eyes of John De Boer, a Dutch teenager who grows up during the war and assists in the resistance movement. Filled with suspense, intrigue, and harsh reality, the series protrays what life was like during the war.

The books are written for middle school ages and up. The prose is easy to read, though not simplistic. A parent may want to read along with a younger child because parts of the books can be very emotionally disturbing.
