Book of the Week

This week's Book of the Week is Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, a thrilling spy story set in World War II.

From the blurb: 'I have two weeks. You'll shoot me at the end, no matter what I do. But I look at all the dark and twisted roads ahead and co-operation 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-Hauptsturmfuhrer 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.

We are a sensational team.'

Why not pick it up and take a look?
