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" inThe New York Times,Code Name Verityis a visceral read of danger, resolve, and survival that shows just how far true friends will go to save each other.
