This. Book. The audio is read by the author and that's my favorite. Read it. Listen to it. Do it.

It wasn't long into this book before I said to myself, "this is going to make me cry." While I didn't cry, the quote "the ending is sad but happy" is the perfect way to describe it. A good choice for middle schoolers who want to read TFiOS but aren't quite ready. Similar themes for younger readers.

For years I've been reading reviews/blurbs that describe books "if you like Veronica Mars." This is the first time a book has actually hit that benchmark. Fun, smart and I hope it's a series.

A lovely middle grade historical fiction book. Not your average WWII novel.
