Published: 2016 “It’s hard to smile when you’re having dinner with Nazis." Michael O’Shaunessey lives in Nazi Germany during World War II. He and his family are originally from Ireland. He is a member of the Hitler Youth, a group of young boys who are being trained to keep the Nazi views alive in Germany. There is one thing that makes Michael different from the other boys in the Hitler Youth--Michael and his parents are spies. Michael must pretend to believe everything that Nazi Germany stands for, even though on the inside he is disgusted. Michael happens to befriend the right person at the right time and suddenly he gets inside information on Projekt 1065, a top secret plan. He and his family want to do everything they can to get Hitler and the Nazis out of power, but then he is asked to do something that goes against everything he believes in, and Michael isn’t sure he can do it. For fans of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Between Shades of Gray.

Published: 2009 Imagine being taken from your home in the middle of the night, being accused of being a witch or wizard, and then being brought to jail and sentenced to death. That’s what happened to brother and sister Whit and Wisty. When they are brought to jail, they see kids, and only kids, locked up as well. The New Order has taken control of everything, and it is now legal to lock up kids and sentence them to death. Whit and Wisty are certain that they have been mistakenly accused of being a witch and wizard. It just doesn't make sense. Only it turns out that they do have special powers that they never knew about before. Now it is up to them to save other kids who fill the jails and stop the New Order before it's too late. |
