Synopsis
Nothing is certain in this gripping, #1 New York Times bestselling World War II thriller following two best friends who crash-land behind enemy lines.
October 11th, 1943―A 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 universally acclaimed Michael L. Printz Award Honor book, Code Name Verity is a visceral read of resolve, danger, and survival that shows just how far true friends will go to save each other.
"A fiendishly plotted mind game of a novel." ―The New York Times Book Review
"This heart-in-your-mouth adventure has it all: a complex plot, a vivid sense of place and time, and resonant themes of friendship and courage." ―The Washington Post
"[Code Name Verity] will take wing and soar into your heart." ―Laurie Halse Anderson
