Review:

PRAISE FOR CODE NAME VERITY
"A fiendishly plotted mind game of a novel, the kind you have to read twice."―New York TImes
PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE
"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
PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE
"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
