5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended by 11 year old boy

L.R. · December 16, 2020

My son selected this book to read with his school instructional support as a means to mimic a high cap program. My son likes to read books on this topic, which I find a little depressing and a little dark...but listening to the thought provoking conversations that tutor and student had over ZOOM....this is highly recommended. I did not read the book, but both tutor and student enjoyed reading it. They were a little sad to move to another book. The conversations that I overhead did a wonderful job of providing historical references (which I find lacking in his schooling so far), portraying how the characters FELT, what motivated them, and in general connecting my son to a world far bigger than greater than within our Covid quarantined city. Not sure how much of this wonderful learning experience was based on the talent and experience of the tutor, but ALLIES provided content that was educational, emotional and allowed the tutor to delve deeper, connect ideas, draw inferences and start predicting outcomes. She was trying to teach him to immerse himself in the reading....not just reading for a reading log.This was a very successful 'book club' for my son.

Very gripping. Gifted it to a 12 year old grandson. He and his 14 year old brother loved it. I found some of it too gory.

It is fun to read and we never stop reading till it's done

Bought this for my 14yr old son to try to encourage reading. He said he's really enjoying the story and was animated talking about it.

Page turner

Y. · October 30, 2022

I haven’t actually read this but giving it 5 stars for my just turned 12 year old who loved this book! Have been trying to get him to read independently for so long but couldn’t find anything he could get into until I came across this. It’s the first novel he’s read alone and he flew through it, begging to stay up a little later for just one more chapter every night.

MADE ME A BOOKWORM FOR 2 DAYS !!!!!

P.S. · January 26, 2021

Just amazing. The way Alan Gratz has portrayed the D-Day makes your adrenaline run. Wasn't able to keep down the book. A must read for book , action and thriller lover..................
