Black Dove White Raven

* "Wein brings this fascinating period in history to life with several well-engineered plot twists, lots of high-flying, nail-biting tension, and meticulous research."

* "Like Em and Teo's tangled history, Ethiopia's is an intricate crosshatch of tradition, progress, conflict, and rich heritage, and Wein gracefully pilots both piercing stories, highlighting the unique circumstances of Ethiopia in the 1930s and the ubiquitous experience of two teens trying to find their places in the world."

* "Highly recommended for all libraries, especially where her previous titles have flown off the shelves."

"Wein does again what she did so beautifully in Code Name Verity (2012) and Rose Under Fire (2013): She plaits together the historical record, her passion for flying and ferociously vivid characters to create a heartbreaking adventure that grounds readers in the moment even as geopolitical complexity threatens to knock them off their feet. . . . Unforgettable."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE * "[A]lthough the story's action follows [Code Name Verity]'s, it has its own, equally incandescent integrity. Rich in detail, from the small kindnesses of fellow prisoners to harrowing scenes of escape and the Nazi Doctors' Trial in Nuremburg, at the core of this novel is the resilience of human nature and the power of friendship and hope."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE * "Wein excels at weaving research seamlessly into narrative and has crafted another indelible story about friendship borne out of unimaginable adversity."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE * "Readers will connect with Rose and be moved by her struggle to go forward, find her wings again, and fly."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE * "In plot and character this story is consistently involving, a great, page-turning read; just as impressive is how subtly Wein brings a respectful, critical intelligence to her subject."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE * "At once heartbreaking and hopeful, Rose Under Fire will stay with readers long after they have finished the last page."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE " Rose Under Fire' is bound to soar into the promised land of young adult books read by actual adults-and deservedly so, because Wein's unself-consciously important story is timeless, ageless and triumphant."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE "Wein's second World War II adventure novel - the first, "Code Name Verity," was highly praised last year - captures poignantly the fragility of hope and the balm forgiveness offers."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE "The horror of the camp, with its medical experimentation on Polish women-called Rabbits-is ably captured. Yet, along with the misery, Wein also reveals the humanity that can surface, even in the worst of circumstances."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE "[A]n impressive story of wartime female solidarity."

PRAISE FOR ROSE UNDER FIRE "[T]he author manages the neat trick of both conveying an enormous amount of historical information while also providing a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat plot peopled with vivid, imperfect and believable characters."
