Oct. 11th, 1943-A British spy plane crashes in Nazi-occupied
France. Its pilot and passenger are best friends. One of the
girls has a chance at survival. The other has lost the game
before it's barely begun.
When "Verity" is arrested
by the Gestapo, she's sure she doesn't stand a chance. As a
secret agent captured in enemy territory, she's living a
spy's worst nightmare. Her Nazi interrogators give her a
simple choice: reveal her mission or face a grisly
execution.
As she intricately weaves her confession,
Verity uncovers her past, how she became friends with the
pilot Maddie, and why she left Maddie in the wrecked
fuselage of their plane. On each new scrap of paper, Verity
battles for her life, confronting her views on courage,
failure and her desperate hope to make it home. But will
trading her secrets be enough to save her from the enemy?
A Michael L. Printz Award Honor book that was called
"a fiendishly-plotted mind game of a novel" in The New
York Times, Code Name Verity is a visceral
read of danger, resolve, and survival that shows just how
far true friends will go to save each other.
