The story of two girls, one Jewish and one Christian, in Oslo, Nroway in 1941.
From vintage scholastic cover: Sixteen should be a time for laughter adn dating and fun. But for Miriam and Hanne, living in Nazi-occupied Norway during World War II, sixteen becomes a time for efear and hiding and heartbreak...for finding love and putting it aside until a better day.

While I had fond memories of reading it as a child, it did not translate well for an adult. For one thing, it was an extremely preachy book, making anyone who was not poor look like a mean person. At the end of the story there is much about how the kind people from overseas are sending money to help all the poor people in India. I thought it was somewhat offensive, almost like a book of propaganda.
