Verity and Maddie are shot down
over Nazi occupied France while flying a secret mission. Maddie is left for
dead in the wreckage, and Verity is taken prisoner. She is tortured and forced
to reveal her secret mission.
I cannot go on with the summary,
this novel has one too many plot twists and turns.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein are two amazing WWII novels. Both have female
protagonists and both are amazingly descriptive. If you’ve read The Book Thief,
and enjoyed it, I highly recommend reading Code Name Verity. The twists and
turns will keep you turning the page, and telling yourself “just one more
chapter” over and over again.
Chapter 7: Moving From Fiction to
Informational Books
Historical Fiction
Elizabeth Wein’s World War II novel
is gripping and nerve-wrecking. She transports the reader to Nazi occupied
France. She puts you right there with Queenie. You feel every emotion, and
untangle every lie, cover-up, and secret as you read on.
Wein, E. (2012). Code name Verity. New York, NY: Hyperion.
