A Night Divided

If there is such a genre as young adult – historical – thriller, this book is it.

I liked the East German perspective,  one I haven’t seen often.  I also really like the quotes that start each chapter.  It might feel a little young due to the main character’s age, but the political concepts are suited to more sophisticated readers.

Scholastic has produced a book trailer, I hope it helps lead kids to this excellent book.
