I actually liked this book even more than Code Name Verity. It was very informative, but in a lively and interesting way. The characters seemed real, and it brought some of the horrors of WW2 to light, but not in a horrible or gruesome…

In the concluding book in the fabulous trilogy by Elizabeth Wein, Rose Under Fire is about Rose Justice, a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. The book narrates what it was like to be living in a concentration camp, and how she managed…

Maybe not as good a story as Code Name Verity but it does its job of "to tell the world" while inspiring the reader to relate to the characters not only struggling to survive but also to make choices that are true to their values.…

Not as good as Code Name Verity. It takes patience and persistence to get through the early chapters - then it finally becomes worth reading.

I loved this book, from the character development, to the history of WWII, to the details of concentration camp life. It was so interesting, so moving and really educational for teens and adults alike. Highly recommend it and will be…

A thought provoking book that I would recommend to everyone to read. At first the story starts off slow, and the main character seems immature and shallow, but as her life is transformed by harsh circumstances she becomes more likable and…

I thought this book was more or less an okay read. I got bored reading it in the beginning but it picked up nicely the more I read. Also, I learned a lot more than I thought I was going to after reading this book.

I personally love learning and reading about WW2 and the Holocaust, yet sometimes the books can be boring and un relatable. This novel however, was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I couldn't stop reading, Rose Under Fire is such a great book that kept…

I found this in the teen fiction and thought it would be rather light reading for an adult, which it was to a certain degree. But as the story progressed and the main character matured, her journal was more detailed and her poetry was…

This historical fiction book taught me a great deal about the Ravensbruck concentration camp. This novel was very well written, and I will now read in reverse order Code Name Verity!

It is a horrible time to revisit but still unbelievable that such atrocities occurred. Wein revisits medical testing at Ravenbruck concentration camp by inserting a fictional storyline - I have read so many of these WWII stories and yet I…

As someone who likes reading about history, there are a number of reasons why I'll pick up a book: a cool setting, or an interesting event, or learning about someone's life. I picked up this book for a different reason altogether, one that…

A companion book to Code Name Verity, this is another very moving story set in Nazi-occupied Europe.
