Code Name: Couldn't put it down
Contains spoilers, click to show
Wow, I could not put this book down! Code Name Verity is the story of two girls who become best friends while serving their country in WWII. Without spoiling too much (ok, just a little) you read both of the friends' accounts of the same few weeks. But one you reach part two, you discover that you can't trust everything your read in part one. It's about war and flying, it's about friendship and family, it's about secrets, lies, and truth. Read it, tell all your friends about it, read it again.

[Conversations with Amelia] by [Kathleen Schmitt] cover both the history of one of the greatest women, Amelia Earhart, but also the growing pains of a family after WWII. All seen through the eyes of Hannah, who is very naive in the beginning. Her confidant is an imaginary Amelia who gives her good advice and keeps her "flying right".

I have been looking forward to reading this book because Amelia Earhart is one of my favorite figures in history. I was not disappointed. It is well written and interweaves the history with the events happening in the story so that it has a really nice flow. I highly recommend reading this book.
