Code name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

This historical fiction, of two young women who get caught by the Gestapo and is forced to give up all information that she had in her possession or face her deadly execution. In an attempt to stretch out the inevitable, she begins giving information in the form of a story. By telling her story of her  friendship and bond that she and a pilot named Maddie. Filled with so much history, any teacher can be sure to use this book for any history assignment on the Holocaust. Be advised that there is language issues and some dark under tones, so of course, I would highly recommend that a warning be sent out to students and parents before using this book as part of your lesson.
