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.
I'm a little late on the boat with this one...I don't know why I put off reading it for so long! I'm reading it with my honors class (8th graders) and the way it worked out, I didn't even get a chance to read it myself before we started it. SO we're reading/discovering it together, which is kinda awesome with a book like this because there are so many surprises and twists and it's fun to explore those with my students.
I'm SO into this book. I love the alternating narratives, I LOVE Verity's voice, and I'm so excited to find out what happens. It's a little slow at the beginning, but once some of the key info gets revealed, it's seriously unputdownable. If you haven't read this one yet, I can't recommend it enough. (But I haven't finished it yet, and if you spoil me, I will never forgive you.)

How fun that you are reading it along with your students! It almost makes it more like book club than class! Except they probably still have to take a test at the end . . . and you still have to grade them.

I forgot there was a companion novel! I loved Code Name Verity and can't wait to read this book

It is kind of neat to see her little charts in print though.
