Code Name Verity- Elizabeth Wein

Code Name Verity is a story about two girls who go by different names throughout the novel. The first half of the story is written by a girl being held and tortured as a prisoner of war in ww2. She was captured after she had to parachute out of the plane her best friend was piloting. The other half of the story is written by her best friend who is believed to be dead searching and hoping that her best friend is still alive.
            I thought this book was brilliant. Truly horrifying and horrendous, but that all made up the great story line Wein has created. It was very hard to anticipate the ending and at one point it actually had me in tears. It was completely believable Wein has obviously done her research and that made it so much better. The characters were created so well and the way the story was actually told was brilliant. Definitely worth reading I would read another one of Wein's books.
