Every one of these fictional soldiers has wrapped herself around my heart.” - Elizabeth Wein, Award-winning and New York Times Bestselling Author of Code Name Verity “What if American women had fought alongside men in World War II? Michael Grant gives us a magnificent alternate history that feels so real and right and true it seems impossible that it wasn’t. Men have no monopoly on courage or determination, and they never did. This alternate history of WWII is relevant to the American military today, where men and women serve side by side. They will fight the greatest war the world has ever known. As the fate of the world hangs in the balance, they will discover the roles that define them on the front lines. These three daring young women will play their parts in the war to defeat evil and save the human race. For the first time they leave behind their homes and families-to go to war.  Each has her own reasons for volunteering: Rio fights to honor her sister Frangie needs money for her family Rainy wants to kill Germans. Rio Richlin, Frangie Marr, and Rainy Schulterman are average girls, girls with dreams and aspirations, at the start of their lives, at the start of their loves. The unproven American army is going up against the greatest fighting force ever assembled, the armed forces of Nazi Germany.   A court decision makes women subject to the draft and eligible for service. Perfect for fans of The Book Thief and Code Name Verity, New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant unleashes an epic, genre-bending, and transformative new series that reimagines World War II with female soldiers fighting on the front lines.
