"Take care of the little riders," says Johanna's father to the eleven-year-old when he leaves her with his parents for an extended vacation in their Dutch village And Johanna does. She loves the twelve metal figures on horseback who ride forth each hour from the clock on the ancient church tower. She would do anything to protect them, anything. And on night she risks her life to prove it. Set during the Second World War when the German army occupied Holland, The Little Riders is a good fit for young independent readers as well as for reading aloud. Review: The Little Riders by Margaretha Shemin - The Little Riders is a believable tale of the experience of one ten-year-old American girl caught up in World War II when blitzkrieg comes to the Netherlands while she is visiting her Dutch grandparents. The novella offers drama and excitement for young readers. As the reader follows the story of the small acts of resistance against the Nazi occupiers, the imagining of the trials and despair of the war become possible, yet the brutality is kept at a level that allows even a ten-year-old to read the book and emotionally cope. This is an excellent book for introducing World War II studies and for cultivating the understanding that courage is often shown by ordinary people in times of adversity, that creativity and standing together can defeat an enemy. I recommend this book for initial studies of World War II as well as for personal adventure reading. Review: 3rd grade boy enjoyed! - We read this for school assignment and my son was engaged and wanted to keep reading. It taught history in a very engaging story and was a great read for a 3rd grader and most chapters were a good length so we would break up into two reading sessions or to find out what happen he would want to keep reading. Great book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #224,333 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #137 in Children's Historical Fiction on Military & Wars #2,458 in Children's Classics #6,141 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 66 Reviews | ## Images ![The Little Riders: A Moving Chapter Book About Protecting Holland During World War II for Kids (Ages 8-12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616e1HqKD9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Little Riders by Margaretha Shemin *by A***A on August 31, 2006* The Little Riders is a believable tale of the experience of one ten-year-old American girl caught up in World War II when blitzkrieg comes to the Netherlands while she is visiting her Dutch grandparents.

Great book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They were sad too when we finished it *by E***N on March 14, 2018* My only wish for it would be for it to be longer. I read this to my active 8 and 10 yr old sons three nights in a row for a bedtime story. They were sad too when we finished it. Such a sweet story. Wished it could go on. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Little Riders - Twenty and Ten --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4880047-the-little-riders-a-moving-chapter-book-about-protecting-holland](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4880047-the-little-riders-a-moving-chapter-book-about-protecting-holland) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
