I could say many things about "Code Name Verity" - in that while I like historical fiction and young adult fiction that tackles tough subject matters, this is one of the best books in YA fiction that I've come across in a while, and I could mentally kick myself for not reading it sooner, since it's ...
This book. Oh, this book. What to even say about this book. If you’ve read it you already know, and if you don’t…why haven’t you read this yet? Go get it right now. The story of a friendship between a wireless operator and a pilot in WWII as told through the written confession of the one who is capt...
I blazed through this book and I had VERY high hopes - perhaps too high. Yes, this book is interesting and sad and a really great story about two best friends stuck in a crap situation (aka WWII).

They made it much more of an emotional read for me. I would definitely recommend giving the audio version...
An incredibly powerful story of courage and friendship amidst the most trying and desperate of circumstances. Set in World War II, it covers the adventures of two young women best friends--a pilot and a spy. One of them is captured by the Germans and interrogated. In return for a 2 week stay of her ...
Solid historical girl-power piece. Haunting. Scary. While this is a work of fiction, the author made pains to indicate that it is authtentic. Given my american-based education, I am in no position to tell. However I always wonder what things would be like if my home were under attack and what I...
