Allies

This book got me hooked on reading, finished it in 3 days. LOVE IT!! Would reccomend to all over age 11+

Kids should know about their History. I can’t put this book down. Highly Recommended

I bought this for my 12 yr old son. He loves historical fiction. He loves it.

This is my favorite book I’ve ever read. It’s deep and got me interested From the beginning. I couldn’t put it down.

This book is an easy read for our daughter and it gives details about the war. Our family enjoys history and this author has numerous books that speak to it.

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 The conversations that I overhead did a wonderful job of providing historical references (which I find lacking in his schooling so far), portraying how the characters FELT, what motivated them, and in general connecting my son to a world far bigger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.

11 yr-old tween doesn't like reading much, but enjoys this author, and this book in particular. Realistic. History is well-researched, which is great because incorrect details are a turn-off for readers of any age.

(by the way this is Melissa's son) Loved the book, the story was about as beautiful as the story for Battlefield 3's campaign. If you liked this book, check out Resist, also by Gratz. It follows Samira more.
