White Rose by Kip Wilson

White Rose by Kip Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Many thanks to #jennlagarde for her Eight Amazeballs to Novels in Verse, which gave me this awesome title, White Rose, historical fiction based on the life of Sophie Scholl, who was one of the brave teens responsible for using passive resistance (distributing flyers) alerting others to the German slaughter of Jews in Germany during WWII. Kip Wilson's poetry was gripping in it's beauty and horror as Hitler's regime wipes out Jews and others. Sophie's bravery, cunning, and love of Germany had Sophie and her friends (especially boyfriend Fritz, who serves in the war) using graffiti and pamphlets to alert others to the criminal activities and deaths Hitler orchestrated. A must read for all!
