📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
by Alan Gratz
Michael O'Shaughnessy is an Irish
teen living in Nazi-occupied Germany. At the start of the war, Michael learns
that not only is his father the Irish Ambassador to Germany but that he and
Michael’s mother are both spies for the Allies. Michael becomes a spy himself
and joins Hitler’s Youth in order to gain information. When Simon, a British
pilot sent to take photos of a secret project, crashes his plane in Berlin,
Michael finds himself in danger of aiding Simon in his mission.
Fans of historical fiction,
especially set during World War II, should definitely check out this book.
While Michael’s life differs from that of his classmates, this book is a great
look at the lives of teen boys in Berlin during the war. On top of that, it is a
great spy fiction with a page-turning action scene.
