For 14-year-old François and his fellow Resistance fighters, the situation in both their village and the country as a whole keeps deteriorating and the stakes keep rising: one of the townsfolk has begun denouncing Jews to the Nazis; the kids suffer another tragedy when someone close to them is killed in action; and the persecution of the Jews reaches previously unimaginable heights. In the face of such threats, the Resistance begins to bring itself together, uniting different movements and improving its radio communication, intelligence, and escape networks—largely thanks to members like François and his friends.
