Summary: Based on a true story, this book tells the
harrowing tale of Suzanne David. She was a teenage Opera
singer- and a French spy during WWII. She risked her life
and saw horrible things, but stayed strong the entire war,
ferrying messages back and forth.
Rating: This book is a 5! I want to read it over and over again.

Opinion: This book is amazing! There is one scene in
the beginning of the book that is a little graphic, but there
aren't any more scenes like that once you get past it. I
would say Suzanne is a very real character, but she is real,
so I guess that's to be expected. It's fantastic what she did
for her country, and really the world! Would I, given the
chance, do what she did? Probably not. She's braver than I'll
ever be.
