About book Oorlogskinderen (2013)

I'm a hist. fic. fan, and this was so action packed I really enjoyed it. 2 teen refugees think they're safe in England, but when they're tapped for a top secret mission that brings them right back into Nazi Germany, they decide to risk their freedom for the greater good. There is violence, but it's not gory. Very fast pace, and no language or sex to worry about. Ending's a bit tidy, but it leaves the storyline open enough for a sequel. Great for grades 7 - 10. Good 6th-10th page-turner set during WWII. Teens Otto and Leni embark on a secret mission for the British government that sends them into Germany.Of course it's unbelievable, but in a way I'm entirely fine with. If you're good with action movies, you'll be good with this book. Gets a little bullet heavy towards the close, but there's an avalanche to balance it out. :)Osborne's experience in screenwriting shows. Plenty of scenes will look cool filmed.
