Praise forPLAYING WITH MATCHES: "Illuminating.""Gripping, entirely credible and a page-turner. Recommended." Heinz Schultz's word could send a man to prison. Though only a youth of fifteen, he was strong, tall, and blond. The boys in his Deutsches Jungvolk unit esteemed him and feared him. And they wanted to be just like him.>A dedicated member of Hitler Youth, Emil was loyal to the Fuehrer before family, a champion for the cause and a fan of the famous Luftwaffe Airforce. Emil's friends Moritz and Johann discover a shortwave radio and everything changes. Now they listen to the forbidden BBC broadcast of news reports that tell both sides. Now they know the truth. The boys along with Johann's sister Katharina, band together to write out the reports and covertly distribute flyers through their city. It's an act of high treason that could have them arrested-or worse. As the war progresses, so does Emil's affection for Katharina.

But when Germany's losses become immense, even their greatest resistance can't prevent the boys from being sent to the Eastern Front.****Available in German as Gefährliche Zettel****What readers are saying: "Using actual real-life stories from those who lived through it, Lee Strauss paints a bleak picture of fear and survival.
