Eva may have left the horrors of Germany and the war behind, but she has come to America with a purpose – revenge. The Nazi who was in charge of Project Bluebird – an experiment with terrible consequences – 27 of them – must pay for his crimes, and Eva seems to be the only one who cares. The few allies she has will help all they can, but if the American government wants to save him for their own purposes, is she willing to go all the way – risk her own life to end his?
Cameron’s Bluebird feels like a companion to Code Name Verity in layers and complexity. Older students who love Holocaust-related books will love its depth. Project Bluebird is a real, but very murky WWII program. Cameron uses her skills to flesh out its possibilities.
