Rose Under Fire
While flying an Allied
fighter plane from Paris to England, American ATA pilot and amateur
poet, Rose Justice, is captured by the Nazis and sent to Ravensbrück,
the notorious women's concentration camp. Trapped in horrific
circumstances, Rose finds hope in the impossible through the loyalty,
bravery and friendship of her fellow prisoners. But will that be enough
to endure the fate that’s in store for her?
Elizabeth Wein, author of the critically-acclaimed and best-selling Code Name Verity, delivers another stunning WWII thriller. The unforgettable story of Rose Justice is forged from heart-wrenching courage, resolve, and the slim, bright chance of survival.

Even better than the first one! Gripping from beginning to end, poignant and heart wrenching, another fabulous look on women in WWII and the best concentration camp book I have ever read. Short review, amazingly excellent book, just read it.
Mom note: As
a mother of readers, I also
want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or
would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I
forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures.
Violence: yes; Profanity: yes; Sex: minor
