(4) YA Readers might think they've wandered into Ken Follett territory. After a brief prologue set in 1979, the story turns to 1944, when two Dutch nationals turned British agents are parachuted into Nazi-occupied Holland. This is satisfying genre fiction; when introducing a YA slant things become a bit awkward. While occasionally purple, the writing is dramatic, and the Resistance activities are suspenseful.
