It sucked then I changed it

I want to change the setting of "Little Brother" a modern day Nazi Germany. I would keep the same characters and change the plot a little bit. The story would begin with an attack from America on a German city and Marcus and his friends are captured and suspected for making the attack. The Nazis take them to a concentration camp (which would be similar to Treasure Island). This is the conflict. They are interrogated harshly though they didn't do anything and Severe Haircut Lady would be Hitler. I would touch upon another issue that Doctorow talked about which is race. The Nazi's suspect Marcus and his friends since they look American. They finally escape (instead of being realised. There is no Xnet since unlike American interrogation like water boarding, Nazi interrogation is something you would die than go through again. They start out as happy kids and end up as scarred souless youth.
