The Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
4.0

I was impressed by this book (not moved, though): Bartoletti did an impressive job telling the story of Helmuth Hubner. And she was actually fair to Mormons, which impressed me. My only complaint was that it would have worked better as an older book; because it was for middle grade readers, Bartoletti glossed over a lot of the more painful events, which I think would have lent the book more weight and power. But it was good, nonetheless.
