"Code Name Verity" by Elizabeth Wein (337 pgs)

The picture of the two hands tied together and the name of the book pulled me in to read it.

This book follows the journals of two women Maddie and Queenie, as they make their way into France in World War II. As females, it was harder for them to get into the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary) or SOE (Special Operations Executive) in the 1940's. Throughout the book, Maddie and Queenie become friends, get jobs working together in the military, share their top ten fears with each other, and even go on a mission into France together.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes intrigue or historical fiction. Once you start its a bit confusing, but if you stick through to the end you'll thoroughly enjoy it!
