Roosevelt, and Mrs. Sidonie M. Gruenberg as an outstanding publication of the month for older readers (C Group). "Lorens studied the faces of the three Nazis as they entered his grandfather's house. Would they suspect a plot in the announcement that he, himself, had been disinherited, that he was no longer sole heir to the family's vast and prosperous jewelry company? He must escape.In following his grandfather's orders, this gallant Dutch boy was to have one breathtaking adventure after another -- on the sea, on land, int the air; in Holland, in Java, in the United States. The stor of how, with the help of other loyal Dutchmen pledged to the underground cause against the Nazis, Lorens played his own valiant part in the war for freedom is absorbing and inspiring."
