McCrina, Amanda

With a touch of romance thrown in, this suspenseful thriller is an excellent addition to YA historical fiction collections; a must-buy.

For those who want something different from their war stories. Energetic and fast-paced, this book will keep readers wanting more; be prepared to provide read-alikes like Monica Hesse’s Girl in the Blue Coat and Elizabeth Wein’s “Code Name Verity” series.

A fine addition for where medieval stories about war and constantly quarreling nomadic tribes circulate well.
