by Alan Gratz
Michael O'Shaunessey and his family are Irish spies for the British Secret Service living in Nazi Germany during World War II. They pretend to be part of the Nazi party in order to gather information that will help the Allies win the war. While searching for a fallen airman with his Hitler Youth Group, who wants to take him prisoner, Michael finds and rescues him. Through Simon, Michael learns of Projekt 1065. During his quest to collect the details from Fritz, a fellow Hitler Youth, Michael conquers his fear of heights to join the brutal SRD so he can try to halt an assassination plot of an important scientist. The obstacles Michael encounters along-the-way keep the reader on the edge of their seat!
Gratz scores again with this historical fiction novel told from the perspective of a thirteen-year-old boy who is forced into the adult world by the volatile times in which he lives. This book prompts pondering about what is important and whether or not you would make the same decisions as Michael if you were placed in parallel circumstances.
