Code name Verity

Wein, E. (2012). Code name Verity. NY: Egmont. Queenie gets captured by the Gestapo in France. Her capturers have tortured her and forced her to write down every detail of her mission or there will be consequences. They showed her pictures of her friend Maddie dead which gives her no reason to live. Queenie begins her confession by making them understand that she is not Maddie the air pilot, but rather her friend that tagged along on the flight. Her life expectancy of six weeks or even worse sent to a camp depends on her confession. For the next two weeks, she explains what she knows about the Bristish War Effort, military bases, and spies, lines of code, airplanes, her friendship with Maddie, and her memories. She confronts her conflict by writing and hoping that her confession will be enough to save her life from von Linden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEz6nPVubck
