For Freedom
Carson, a reader from North Carolina, recommended For Freedom, the Story of a French Spy by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Set in Cherbourg, France during World War II, fifteen-year-old Suzanne became a spy for the French Resistence. This exciting historical novel is based on the experiences of Suzanne David Hall. My only criticism of the book is that I would have liked an author's note highlighting the accurate parts of the story. Also a glossary would help readers unfamiliar with World War II.
