"Germany, 1939. After her mother is shot at a checkpoint, fifteen-year-old Sarah, finds herself on the run from a government that wants to see her, along with every other Jew, dead. Then she meets a mysterious man who needs Sarah to pull off a spy mission he can't attempt on his own: infiltrate a boarding school attended by the daughters of Nazi top brass, befriend the girl whose father is a high-ranking scientist, and find the blueprints to a bomb that could destroy the cities of Western Europe. With years of training from her actress mother in the art of impersonation, Sarah thinks she's ready. But nothing prepares her for her cutthroat classmates, and soon she's embroiled in a battle for survival unlike any she'd ever imagined--and fighting to hold onto her true self."-- Page 4 of cover.… (more)

CW: Father invites friends over so he can sexually assault them. Some very intense bullying and manipulation. ( )

I read this book in two days; it was very hard to put down because there's always something happening that's dangerous.

Sarah, a Jew, tries to escape with her mother, but a roadblock causes a car crash and only Sarah survives. On her own, Sarah needs to escape the Nazis. Thankfully, she doesn't look Jewish. Also, her mother taught her how to be an actress; she knows how to fully commit to the role she must play. She's also a survivor, having taken care of her mother as their rights were one by one removed.

In her flight, she sees a man whom she later rescues from a probably arrest, and her whole life changes. This man is a spy and Sarah is perfect. He needs to see what a corrupt scientist is up to, but our spy can't gain access. He asks Sarah to attend school with the scientist's daughter to get in. Sarah agrees. This time in the Nazi school is super dangerous.

That's all I'm saying--it's a page-turner, I promise! The girls are terrible! I mean, they are Nazis. Yes, you will have to suspend your disbelief because I'm not sure a 13-year old is this adept at surviving. I recommend this fun, cruel, and fast-paced novel. ( )

I didn't enjoy this, the start was ok but I found myself bored and skipping pages, I just didn't care for this book and WILL NOT be reading the SEQUELS. ( )
