Code Name Verity

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wein's novel is wonderful! Deeply researched and eminently plausible, this fictional account of two young British women -- one a pilot and one a spy -- during WWII is gripping and heartrending. So involved in Wein's plot, I felt as if I was abandoning the characters when I put down the book -- and read it in one sitting. She's done an amazing job a creating two powerful characters and embedding them in a thrilling tale of espionage, history and undying loyalty. An excellent choice for both adult and young adult fans of historical thrillers.
