And the winner is...
"The Boy Who Dared" by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
Bartoletti's tale involves a young boy with enormous courage who stands up his beliefs, despite the fact that the consequences might be fatal. It is powerfully written, but not too graphic in light of the harsh subject matter of the Holocaust.
Honor books are:
"Fearless" by Elvira Woodruff
"Life is Fine" by Allison Whittenberg
"Titanicat" illustrated by Robert Papp
"Willie and the All-Stars" by Floyd Cooper
