It's 1940, and the beautiful world thirteen year old Alina Fischer has grown up in is changing. It's hard to believe anything could change in the sleepy village of Felsental, outside of Cologne, Germany. But the world is changing, and with many strange occurrences, like the herds of people walking down the street with suitcases wearing yellow stars on their coats. Or the word "conscription", and all the terror it brings, and the extreme, sometimes desperate, loyalty to this one man, this Hitler fellow she's heard of. But Alina is just a child, or so her brother Otto says, she doesn't understand such things. She doesn't understand the red flags with the black symbols, why certain children can no longer be her classmates, why the world is being stripped of its beauty. Alina shouldn't understand, but she does. But the gift of understanding, once so valued, can be the line between life and death.Concluída
Code Name: Kawaii: A Novel (Kiki Claymore Book 1)
Kawaii. It’s a word heard every day on the streets of Tokyo. Usually uttered by young women, it’s the typical response in Japan to anything that is small, feminine, childish or cartoon-like. All of which are qualities that half-Japanese Kiki Claymore has been told she embodies—something she resents. When her grandfather, a former master spy, is killed in a car bomb, Kiki comes under scrutiny at NATO. Whatever secrets her grandfather had—now they’re in Kiki’s hands. She’s recruited by Task Force Ten—an elite NATO group of stunningly beautiful female spies. She’ll agree to join—if NATO will help find her grandfather’s killers. When a wealthy German industrialist seemingly hijacks a nuclear facility in Sweden, it becomes a race against time to prevent the deaths of millions. But after Kiki is captured, she learns that the real reasons for the hijacking are more devious than she could ever imagine—and she’s an unwitting co-conspirator.Concluída
