to Uncle Henrik, and gets caught by three German soldiers, and one has a dog. One

chief. The dog sniffs it, and backs away, losing its sense of smell.

7. Resolution
The resolution, is the war ended two years later, when Annemarie is 12 years old.
Annemarie asked her dad if he can fix Ellen’s necklace, for when Annemarie ripped
it off Ellen’s neck at her house (the Soldiers were coming). Peter died because of
the German soldiers for what he did to help the Jews. Annemarie finds out what
really happened to her sister Lise. She was part of the group that Peter was in.
They got captured by the Germans. Both Peter and Lise escaped. Peter got away
fine, but Lise didn’t. When she was running, soldiers in a car were driving, and hit
Lise. Obviously they wanted to kill her, so they just ran her over.

8. What is science-related
In this book, there is something science-related. There is something that scientists
actually made in real life. It is something that you can put on a handkerchief, and
Soldiers dogs smell it, they temporarily lose their sense of smell. It was specifically
made to help Jews escape from the where they were going to be killed.
