From the Newbery Honor and Schneider Award-winning author of The War that Saved My Life comes For Freedom, the thrilling true story of one of France's youngest spies during World War II and perfect for fans of Code Name Verity and The Diary of Anne Frank.

    Suzanne David's everyday life is suddenly shattered in 1940 when a bomb drops on the main square of her hometown, the city of Cherbourg, France, killing a pregnant neighbor right in front of her. Until then the war had seemed far away, not something that would touch her or her teenage friends. Now Suzanne's family is kicked out onto the street as German soldiers take over their house as a barracks.
    Suzanne clings to the one thing she really loves--singing. Her voice is so amazing that she is training to become an opera singer. As Suzanne travels around for rehearsals, cosume fittings, or lessons, she learns more about what the Nazis are doing and about the people who are "disappearing." Her travels are noticed by someone else, an organizer of the French Resistance. Soon Suzanne is a secret courier, a spy fighting for France and risking her own life for freedom.

[STAR] "This taut, engrossing World War II novel instantly immerses readers,...[but] the real focus, however, is the skin-crawling suspense story about one of France's youngest spies. Each chapter brings new intrigue and often shocking revelations...resonat[ing] with authenticity, excitement, and heart."-Booklist, Starred

[STAR] "This suspenseful novel,...based on a true story, moves swiftly into action...Filled, but not laden, with the events of the war, and peppered with French language and the culture of music, this novel will appeal to readers who enjoy history and espionage."-SLJ, Starred

[STAR] "Based on Bradley’s interviews with the real Suzanne, this is an exciting account of a girl’s coming of age in a scary time. The historical context is neatly woven into the story."-Kirkus Reviews, Starred

"The action will have readers on the edge through the tense conclusion, and the epilogue is not to be missed."-The Bulletin

"A highly compelling look at the covert battle for freedom."-Publishers Weekly

Well-written and interesting story. I would have liked an additional chapter or two in order to complete the story in a less rushed manner, but I enjoyed it.

another gripping story of people caught in world war 2 with a heroine who one has to be hoping will escape...all of the authors books are good reads.

I first got this book as a battle book i started to read more of it it was awesome. This is one of the books were u need to read more than the front page. I was surprised because the beginning was not "slow" like most books are it get right too the topic i like that in a book but it still u get tho know the characters

The book was great. I really enjoyed it and I urge others to read it! Great story line and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This isn't a review of the book because we couldn't finish it. The graphic depiction of a pregnant woman whose stomach is torn apart and who is also also beheaded disturbed my 11-year-old so much that he couldn't get past it. He's not an overly sensitive kid, either. He's read about the Holocaust, the Civil War and the Donner Party. My hope is that he will give the book another chance. For now, it's a thumbs down.
