In a companion novel to Shadows on the Sea, fifteen-year old American Wendy Dekker struggles to adjust to life in Nazi Germany, where she's brought by her Nazi-spy mother. Navigating her way through a tense Berlin, Wendy struggles to come to terms with injustices around her. Despite some awkward plot points and over-explanatory sections, Wendy's earnest voice is compelling. Historical afterword appended.
