For Freedom : The Story of a French Spy

Rating:
Summary: For Freedom
Review: I assigned this book to rising 6th graders last summer...most students somplain about their reading assignments, but this class loved the book...many commented that it is one of their favorite books, EVER! Even the boys, who usually moan and groan about female main characters! It is true that the descriptions of war are sometimes a bit graphic...there is a disturbing paragraph about a pregnant woman killed during an air raid/bombing, but it is necessary to the plot and does succeed in conveying the horrors of war. I think the class loved the maturity of the story and the realism...they felt very grown-up after reading it and it opened up days of passionate conversation about WWII, cruelty, patriotism, sacrifice and bravery. It was a perfect introduction piece for The Diary of Anne Frank, which they will read next year.

Review: This book, based a true story is one of the best World War Two books I've ever read. You really feel like you get to know the character and the more you read the more into the book you get. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read more about the war or who just wants a good book to cuddle up by the fire with during those cold winter nights. This book won't dissapoint you.
