Review:
Whisked away from the Black Forest to occupied Holland, a gung ho Hitler Youth undergoes a blitzkreig conversion. --School Library Journal, May 1975
...a suspense story of secret rooms, lost paintings and hidden passages. This is an upbeat look at the Dutch Resistance, and the heroine's beginnings as an avid Hitler Youth make less difference than you'd think. --Kirkus, May 1975
