From the Newbery Honor–winning author Margi Preus, the award-winning Shadow on the Mountain recounts the adventures of a 14-year-old Norwegian boy named Espen during World War II—based on a true story.
After Nazi Germany invades and occupies Norway, Espen and his friends are swept up in the Norwegian resistance movement. Espen gets his start by delivering illegal newspapers, then graduates to the role of courier and finally becomes a spy, dodging the Gestapo along the way. During five years under the Nazi regime, he gains—and loses—friends, falls in love, and makes one small mistake that threatens to catch up with him as he sets out to escape on skis over the mountains to Sweden.
Preus incorporates archival photographs, maps, and other images to tell this story based on the real-life adventures of Norwegian Erling Storrusten, whom Preus interviewed in Norway.
“Preus deftly uses together historical fact (Espen is based on a real-life spy) and elements of Norwegian culture to conjure a time and place not so terribly long ago.” —Wall Street Journal
“Engrossing . . . This is at once a spy thriller, a coming-of-age story, and a chronicle of escalating bravery. Multidimensional characters fill this gripping tale that keeps readers riveted to the end.” —School Library Journal (Starred Review)

More Comfortable than an Airbed
Color: light gray, Size: cot
I purchased this 4-inch foam floor mattress for when grandchildren stay over. This is my 2nd one, since zi have 2 grandchildren. I don't have room for beds or bunk beds, but I have a space where I can store these. I slept on it myself several nights in a row when I had company and I found it to be much better than sleeping on an air bed. I purchased mattress covers and fitted sheets that fit the exact dimensions of the mattress and I am happy to be able to provide a perfect sleeping setup for my 2 grandchildren! If you have a place to store the mattress when it's folded (25 inches high, 31 inches wide, 12 inches deep) I recommend a 4-inch thick foam floor mattress over an air bed. In my home it is the perfect solution! Follow all the directions for allowing the mattress to reach its full thickness. It is vacuum packed and needs several hours (almost 2 days) to expand.

Blow up beds are better

Blow up beds are better. These are barely thicker than a sleeping bag.
