Elizabeth Wein recommends
Luck of the Titanic (2021)
Stacey Lee
"Stacey Lee's superpower is her ability to turn history's forgotten into today's unforgettable; and you'll never forget the terror and joy of travelling with Valora Luck, whose unsinkable spirit gleams like a rescue flare through the icy murk of the past."
Friend Me (2020)
Sheila M Averbuch
"Friend Me is a heart-racing escalation from toxic teen power play and the dangers of social media to a darkly searing near-future thriller. A stunning debut."
Three Hours in Paris (2020)
(Kate Rees WWII, book 1)
Cara Black
"An unbreakable American heroine pitted against a charismatic German detective: pure gold in a wartime thriller. This hair-raising cat-and-mouse race across Nazi-occupied Paris left me breathless."
Open Fire (2020)
Amber Lough
"Katya is a heroine to ache for, and her story is a stunning, vibrant glimpse of a rare moment in women's history."
The Fountains of Silence (2019)
Ruta Sepetys
"Ruta Sepetys is a master of historical fiction. In Salt to the Sea the hard truths of her herculean research are tempered with effortless, intimate storytelling, as her warm and human characters breathe new life into one of the world's most terrible and neglected tragedies."
The Skylarks' War (2018)
Hilary McKay
"This book is agony and ecstasy, and never have I read such a human and accessible account of World War I. Vivid, hilarious, and heartbreaking, Hilary McKay’s radiant characters touch my heart like real people, friends and loved ones I know well. Possibly the finest writer of our time."
