I cannot even contain myself! I just finished reading Projekt 1065 by Alan Gratz and I am dying over how good this book is! I read it in less than 24 hours because I could not put it down. I chose this book to run against the amazing "Refugee" in our March Madness Tournament. I LOVE Refugee so much and it is so well written, so I knew this book would be just as good. I was not disappointed. Alan Gratz is such a phenomenal writer. He uses real historical events and provides so much information in the back matter of the book it makes the story even more engaging. I know we have a ton of kids that want to read this book when we get back from Spring Break, and I am excited for you to do so. If you can get it at the public library during the break, go...go now! This story of the Irish child spy, Michael is one I will not soon forget. The resilience, the integrity, the bravery he shows is unmatched. There are so many suspenseful events that take place in this story, I could not possibly write about them all. You just have to read the book. If you love World War II historical fiction, you will love this book. It is hands down my favorite, and that is saying a lot because I read a lot of World War II historical fiction. I had to put this on the main blog because I was so excited, but it can also be found under the book talks with some extra details. Happy, Intense, Action-Packed Reading to you!
