(2) YA Resistance series. Illustrated by Leland Purvis. Color by Hilary Sycamore. Four years into the German occupation of France, the Resistance is stepping up its actions, but Nazi retaliation is increasingly brutal. There's a lot going on in this third volume in the graphic novel trilogy about the Tessier family (Resistance; Defiance). The series continues to be remarkable in its engaging, accessible presentation of a complicated chapter of World War II history.
