Wein, Elizabeth, Code Name Verity.
Hyperion, 2012. Pgs. 343. Language: G, Violence: PG-24, Sexual Content: PG-13
Verity’s plane, piloted by her best
friend, Maddie, just crashed in Nazi-occupied France. Verity, a secret agent,
escapes the crash only to be arrested by the Gestapo for looking the wrong way
as she crossed the street. What follow is her story and confession traded to
the Nazis for clothing and a few weeks of life. Laced in her story are details
of her place of holding and the detail her allies need to do their job.
With strong characters and a
suspenseful, well-written plot, this book is impossible to put down and will
leave you turning pages. An amazing tale of friendship, love, and espionage, readers
who like books about spies, adventure, and courage will enjoy reading this
book. MS, HS. ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist,
