YA
In this alternative-history/sci-fi thriller, the Axis powers won World War II. It is 1956, and seventeen-year-old skin-shifting resistance fighter Yael is assigned to kill Hitler. To do so, she must win a cross-continental motorcycle race to gain a rare one-on-one encounter. A complicated plot threatens to overtake this exciting novel, but strong writing and an appealingly multi-layered heroine keep it on track.
