As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Code Name: Lise by Larry Loftis
An incredible woman who doesn't cave under pressure. Brave and bold, charming and determined. The atrocities of the Nazis during World War II are revealed as Odette's story is unfolded. Not an easy read when it comes to the torture but the love and respect between her and fellow spy Peter Churchill is touching. A true story and a must for any adult library. The audio book also very good.
