This is a valuable book for younger readers interested in World War 2 and The Holocaust, it held my interest too and I'm middle aged. Nicely told with appealing characters and a plot that holds your interest. My thanks to Netgalley, publisher and author for a digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is a great series to recommend to our middle grade readers who love historical fiction, especially civilian stories of WWII.

Thus is the fourth book in Kathy Kacer’s Heroes Quartet series. This book is so well crafted . We follow Henry who loves to sail . But when Nazi rule tightens in Copenhagen, Henny joins the resistance. And when Hitler orders the Gestapo to round up all Jewish citizens, Henny realizes that the Gerda III isn’t just a boat—it’s a means of escape for her Jewish neighbours. This book brings up several facts of World War 2 that are unfamiliar. Truly lobed the tqiats and turns of this book . The characters qere amazing . Lovely writting style ..






The fourth book in Kathy Kacer’s Heroes Quartet series, Call Across the Sea brings to life a little-known part of World War II and highlights the unsung acts of heroism that moved history forward. (

this is a lovely read, I was actually surprised of how much I enjoyed it. I totally understand why its target audience is that demographic, I’m sure younger audiences willmlearn a lot from this.

This is a lovely, understated book, best suited for fourth through sixth grades. Covering territory similar to the classic “Number the Stars,” “Call Across the Sea” offers a poignant and relatable protagonist for older elementary school readers, and an age-appropriate means of learning about the Holocaust. Recommended.
