"Code Name Kris," is about Jesper a 17-year-old boy that lived in Copenheahon, Denmark. Hi lived under German rule during WW2. He and the "resistance" (a group trying to over take the Germans) were working hard to get rid of the Germans. Carol Matas made the book like you were in the story yourself. This is a great-told tale that shows you how the Germans were taking all of the Jews out of Denmark. This is a very interesting book about World War2 that I highly suggest other readers to read.

"Code Name Kris." This was an Excellent book!. It tells the life of a Danish resistance fighter, Jesper, and what he has to do during World War II. The line that told me this was a good book was in the first paragraph. "The Nazis are getting more desperate, as they get more desperate they get meaner." In the book, the main character, Jesper, must choose between many choices all at one time. He tells it first person, trapped in a jail cell in Holland. This wonderful book broke my heart and made me happy many times over. If this book sounds interesting, read "Lisa's War." It tells the lead up story to "Code Name Kris."

This gripping novel had action, a love story, and everything else that you would expect from Matas. Amazon has a good price on this book so buy it! This has been my favorite book for two years now ( i am 12) and I thing matas was at the top of her form. It deserved 5 stars

I opened this book and saw the first words : "I am to be executed," That decided it all. I was Jesper as he became Kris, saboteur and newspaper reporter for the Danish Resistance. And then to find that one of his old friends is a Nazi . . . Did I mention that this is one of my favorite books? Unfortunately, I can't find this book anywhere. Not even the library has it.

Even though I rarely read historical fiction I have found that the novel: Code Name: Kris, is an amazing peice of work that I would most definently suggest to both friends and family.

I loved this book. I first read it in 6th grade, and I have read it in 7th, 8th, and 9th. It is wounderful, and shows history, and a valuable point of view that will get you thinking. Worth checking out!

This was one of my favorite books and I think that it was really well written. It was interesting how it took place in World War II. It makes you turn the pages all the time and doesn't seem to get boring.

its not the best book in the world but is well written. talking about WWII and all the strugles the resistance went through to infrom all the people of the danger, the germans were causeing.
