4-6Great Escapes of World War II series.
Illustrated by
Wilson Tortosa.
These graphic novels tell gripping tales of escaping the Nazis during WWII: in Outrunning, a Norwegian resistance fighter; in Death Camp, multiple prisoners in a concentration camp. Contrived speech-bubble dialogue is accompanied by historical fact boxes throughout the graphic tellings; comics-style art and layouts work well to depict the intrigue and action intrinsic to these historical events. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Great Escapes of World War II titles: Outrunning the Nazis and Death Camp Uprising.
