Rose under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
Rose Justice is a young American ATA pilot, delivering planes and taxiing pilots for the RAF in the UK during the summer of 1944. A budding poet who feels most alive while flying, she discovers that not all battles are fought in the air.
Praise for Code Name Verity 'Code Name Verity does more than stick with meIt haunts me. I just can't recommend it enough.' - Author Maggie Stiefvater 'I liked Code Name Verity enormously... you are sucked into the viewpoint and don't realise for a long time that everything is double edged and has a second meaning.' - Author Helen Dunmore 'A remarkable book, which had me horrified and totally gripped at the same time.' - Daily Mail
