Review: Code Name Verity/Rose Under Fire

Image
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein  Publication Date : 2012 Pages: 336 (Paperback)  Genre: Young Adult My Goodreads Rating:  5 Stars Goodreads Synopsis: I have two weeks. You'll shoot me at the end no matter what I do. That's what you do to enemy agents. It's what we do to enemy agents. But I look at all the dark and twisted roads ahead and cooperation is the easy way out. Possibly the only way out for a girl caught red-handed doing dirty work like mine - and I will do anything, anything to avoid SS-Hauptsturmführer von Linden interrogating me again. He has said that I can have as much paper as I need. All I have to do is cough up everything I can remember about the British War Effort. And I'm going to. But the story of how I came to be here starts with my friend Maddie. She is the pilot who flew me into France - an Allied Invasion of Two. We are a sensational team. My Review: I walked by this book in my local Barnes & Noble multiple times...
