Resist: A Story of D-Day

Description:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz comes a gripping, 80-page bonus story about D-Day that can be read alongside the novel Allies, or on its own!

Samira Zidane lives in Nazi-occupied France during World War II...and she has a secret. She and her mother are spies for the underground resistance. They crack codes and trade messages that will help sabotage the Nazis' plans.

When her mother is captured by enemy soldiers, Samira must travel through the war-torn countryside on a desperate and daring rescue mission.

And today just happens to be D-Day: the pivotal moment when Allied soldiers are landing in France. Battles rage all around her, and Samira only has a small dog named Cyrano for company. Can she find a way to save her mother before time runs out?


Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Resist: A Story of D-Day:

"Gratz makes the danger of being a civilian caught between occupiers and invaders on that fateful night (or any other time) breathlessly palpable... Tense, nonstop adventure in a historic setting." -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Heroes: A Novel of Pearl Harbor:

* "Gratz does his usual splendid job of creating the visceral drama of battle alongside fully realized characters.

"Vivid... fast-paced. The humanity of the characters and the on-the-ground perspective evoke sympathy for those who perished in the attack... A propulsive wartime story with an earnest protagonist at its heart." --Kirkus Reviews
