Wein, E. (2012). Code name Verity. New York: Hyperion.
In the second part we find out that Maddie doesn't die like she makes it out to be and is able to escape and lands with a Resistance group that will help her rescue Julie. The plan didn't go as they hoped and Maddie is unable to free her friend. Knowing that the fate that awaits her at the hands of her captors is much worse, Maddie kills Julie. It is later revealed through her documentation that the information she gave the Nazis was not helpful.
This story is more than meets the eye, more than friendship, more than loyalty, it's about bravery. As you read you hope for a good ending, an ending in which Julie is rescued and her and Maddie get out of harm's way. Realistic and heartbreaking, this is definitely a must read.
This is the story about a beautiful frienship of two girls, Julie and Maddie, who were not supposed to have been friends, yet they defied all odds and were willing to risk their lives for one another. The story is a historical fiction and it goes back to the beginning of WWII. Julie is a spy and becomes prisoner of the Gestapo. Maddie attempts to help her yet the attempt fails. We start reading Julie's confession in which she openly states she's a coward and that she will give up any information because she was afraid of what might happen to her if she doesn't. She soon finds out that after she jumped off in her parachute, Maddie crashes the plain and dies.
