This acclaimed story of World War II is rich in suspense, characterization, plot and spiritual truth. Every element of occupied Holland is united in a story of courage and hope: a hidden Jewish child, "an underdiver," a downed RAF pilot, an imaginative, daring underground hero, and the small things of family life which surprisingly carry on in the midst of oppression. The Verhagen family who live in the old windmill called the Winged Watchman are a memorable set of individuals whose lives powerfully demonstrate the resilience of those who suffer but do not lose faith.

    "World War II can be a difficult topic to broach with children, as we look for ways to strike the right balance between the reality of evil and the goodness of God. One children’s book that strikes this balance beautifully is Hilda van Stockum’s The Winged Watchman." -- Maura Roan McKeegan, Crisis Magazine This was a powerful and entertaining book for our 5th grade book club.
