Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein


When " Verity" is arrested by the Gestapo, she is sure she doesn't stand a chance. As a secret agent captured in enemy territory, she's living a spy's worst dream. Her Nazi interrogators give a simple choice; reval her mission or face a deadly execution. They'll get the truth out of her, but it won't be what they expect. As she intricately tells her past, how she became friends with the pilot Maddie, and why she left Maddie in the wrecked fuselage of their plane. On each new scrape of paper, Verity battles for her life, confronting her views on courage, failure, and her desperate hope to make it home. Will trading her secrets be enough to save her from a merciless and ruthless enemy?
 I rate this book three and a half stars out of five because this was not a book that I really enjoyed reading. For me it was confusing to read at parts and get what the author was trying to say. I recommend this book to people who like to read books that go back in History and add fictional characters.
