“What an intense, clever, heartbreaking, gut wrenching story. I ripped through it-- perhaps too fast to put all the pieces of the mystery together before the end-- because I just HAD TO KNOW what happened to these two girls downed in occupied France.

“What an intense, clever, heartbreaking, gut wrenching story. I ripped through it-- perhaps too fast to put all the pieces of the mystery together before the end-- because I just HAD TO KNOW what happened to these two girls downed in occupied France. I highly recommend this book, but with a few caveats. First, this is an grueling and realistic account of life as German prisoner of war. It takes a strong stomach to hear about the torture, even though it almost all takes place off-page. Second, it is a great read-- and probably a teachable one-- but it is certainly for kids in 9th grade and up. The language and gritty reality of the novel are a bit much for the MS set. That said, it is a smart and terribly engaging novel. Not exactly a beach read, but a searing one, nonetheless. ”

“Wow! I loved the tone of this book-- a bit macabre, a bit clever, and oh so British. It reminded me a bit of a darker Harry Potter. The chapters hang together, even though the book feels a bit like a collection of short stories. I loved this book, and think it would be perfect for the precocious...”

“Really, just excellent adventure story-telling. If you liked Scott Westerfeld's _Leviathan_ series, you'll love this. Oppel creates a sumptuous world with delightful characters all doing extraordinary things. Girls and boys will find heroes here.”

“I remember reading this quite a while ago, and I forgot to write a review. I seem to have forgotten most of the story, as well! As I recall, I remember feeling like it was another example of paranormal romance that was neither outstanding nor horrid-- although not terribly believable, either...”

“I remember reading this quite a while ago, and I forgot to write a review. I seem to have forgotten most of the story, as well! As I recall, I remember feeling like it was another example of paranormal romance that was neither outstanding nor horrid-- although not terribly believable, either (even for fantasy).”

“I've loved this series. I found this last book to be a bit long with a too-fast wrap-up at the end (maybe that was the way the War felt to Sophie, too?), but I'm so endeared to these characters, I kept on reading. It is well-worth the time.”
