Review
PRAISE FOR The Pearl Thief:
"Each thread of this novel is exquisitely woven; Wein is a deft plotter—the complex narrative is paced like a mystery—and vivid Scottish slang adds humor and texture. It isn’t necessary to have read Code Name Verity to enjoy this prequel, but readers who fell in love with Julia the spy will appreciate learning about where she first discovered what it means to be a friend." --Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
"Another ripping yarn from a brilliant author." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
"A finely crafted book that brings one girl’s coming-of-age story to life." --Starred Review, Booklist
PRAISE FOR Code Name Verity:
"A carefully researched, precisely written tour de force; unforgettable and wrenching." --Starred Reviews, Kirkus Reviews
"[Code Name Verity] is outstanding in all its features—its warm, ebullient characterization; its engagement with historical facts; its ingenious plot and dramatic suspense; and its intelligent, vivid writing." --Starred Review, The Horn Book
"A fiendishly plotted mind game of a novel." --The New York Times Book Review
"[A] beautiful thriller about friendship, courage and daring at a desperate time." --The Star Phoenix
