Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[T]he author manages the neat trick of both conveying an enormous amount of historical information while also providing a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat plot peopled with vivid, imperfect and believable characters." --RT Book Reviews

PRAISE FOR CODE NAME VERITY

*"This novel positively soars."--The Horn Book (starred review)

PRAISE FOR CODE NAME VERITY

*"[An] innovative spy tale built to be savored."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

PRAISE FOR CODE NAME VERITY

*"A riveting and often brutal tale of WWII action and espionage with a powerful friendship at its core. [an] expertly crafted adventure."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

PRAISE FOR CODE NAME VERITY

*"A carefully researched, precisely written tour de force; unforgettable and wrenching."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[A]n impressive story of wartime female solidarity."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"The horror of the camp, with its medical experimentation on Polish women-called Rabbits-is ably captured. Yet, along with the misery, Wein also reveals the humanity that can surface, even in the worst of circumstances." --Booklist

"Wein's second World War II adventure novel - the first, "Code Name Verity," was highly praised last year - captures poignantly the fragility of hope and the balm forgiveness offers."--The New York Times

" Rose Under Fire' is bound to soar into the promised land of young adult books read by actual adults-and deservedly so, because Wein's unself-consciously important story is timeless, ageless and triumphant."--The Los Angeles Times

* "At once heartbreaking and hopeful, Rose Under Fire will stay with readers long after they have finished the last page."--VOYA, starred review
