Description<\/p>\n
\u2018I have two weeks. You\u2019ll shoot me at the end no matter what I do.\u2019<\/p>\n
Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, Code Name Verity is a bestselling tale of friendship and courage set against the backdrop of World War Two.<\/p>\n
Only in wartime could a stalwart lass from Manchester rub shoulders with a Scottish aristocrat, one a pilot, the other a special operations executive. When a vital mission goes wrong, and one of the friends has to bail out of a faulty plane over France, she is captured by the Gestapo and becomes a prisoner of war. The story begins in Verity\u2019s\u2019 own words, as she writes her account for her captors.<\/p>\n
Truth or lies? Honour or betrayal? Everything they\u2019ve ever believed in is put to the test \u2026<\/p>\n
Elizabeth Wein is a leading voice in young adult historical fiction. Her novel Rose Under Fire was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and shortlisted for the Costa Award 2014.<\/p>\n
