In Allies, Alan Gratz's thrilling novel of D-Day, we met Samira, a young girl who is part of the underground French resistance during World War II. Samira cracks codes and trades secrets in order to sabotage the Nazis' plans. In Resist, we delve deeper into Samira's story. Here, we follow Samira as she journeys through the Nazi-occupied French countryside, on a daring rescue mission to find her captured mother. Accompanied only by a loyal dog named Cyrano, Samira must rely on her courage and wits to avoid and outsmart the German forces. But it's D-Day, and with the Allied forces landing in Europe, fierce battles are raging all around. Can Samira reach her mother and save her in time? No library descriptions found. |

Resist follows Samira on her hunt to find and save her mother from certain death at the hands of the Nazis. Along her travels, she runs into a "3 or 4-year-old boy" who not only carries a gun and has the understanding and patience not to shoot it at the Nazis as he and Samira wait for them to pass by, but he then goes on to direct Samira on how to get out of the city and tells her he will be going on by himself to cut communication wires. Sorry - way too far of a stretch there. There are other snippets equally as far-fetched, which have nothing to do with knowledge of the war.
The book is good as it has an appropriate moral ending, and the reader will enjoy it because it is super quick. But, it will fall flat for older youths as there isn't much to sink one's teeth into, even for an 8-year-old, but especially for a 12-year-old.
