"This voice was said to turn arias into spells, hymns into love songs, simple requests into commands, my suitors driven to despair in every country I visited, but perhaps especially here." ~ from Alexander Chee's The Queen of the Night

| Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse; narrated by Natalia PayneTeen Fiction. "Nothing in this war is what it seems." That's certainly true of innocent-looking Hanneke, who cycles through Nazi-occupied 1943 Amsterdam without anyone suspecting that she's a black market smuggler. Grieving the loss of her soldier boyfriend, Hanneke tries her best to ignore the war -- until a customer asks for her help in the search for a missing Jewish girl, drawing Hanneke into the Dutch resistance and forcing her to confront the limits of her courage. Similar to Elizabeth Wein's Code Name Verity, Girl in the Blue Coat combines wrenching emotional truths, a vivid setting, and a gripping pace to create a truly unforgettable read. |

| Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys; narrated by Jorjeana Marie; Will Damron; Cassandra Morris; Michael CrouchTeen Fiction. When the Wilhelm Gustloff sank in 1945, over 9,000 of its passengers lost their lives. Yet before the voyage, the doomed ship offered a last chance of escape for thousands of Eastern European refugees fleeing from the brutality of World War II. Salt to the Sea follows four passengers, beginning in the days before the ship's departure: Joana, a guilt-ridden Lithuanian nurse; Emilia, a pregnant Polish teen; Florian, a secretive Prussian artist; and Alfred, a young Nazi soldier. The narrators "excel in capturing the tone of their characters" (Booklist) in this gorgeously portrayed tale of a deadly shipwreck. |
