Code Name Verity tells the story of two best friends in England during
WWII. Maddie is a feisty, mechanically inclined, talented girl with her heart
set on being a pilot. Queenie is the multi-lingual, very smart spy.
Their lives
become entwined in many ways before the mission that eventually sends them to
France. When their tail wing is damaged
by anti-aircraft fire, Maddie makes Queenie parachute. Neither knows whether the other
survives.
Does Queenie
land safely? Does Maddie succeed in
bringing the Lysander aircraft down safely without the tail wing? Will either of them be able to survive in the
French countryside where the Gestapo is firmly entrenched?
Read this
historical fiction piece to find out what it takes to survive in war torn
hostile France. This title is recommended for mature readers who can follow a
complicated plot.
