The Pearl Thief by Elizabeth Wein

5.0

Another literary masterpiece from Wein. Readers who have not yet read Code Name Verity will hopefully be intrigued enough to pick up that title next. Julie is a flawed but captivating character, and her friendships with Travellers surprise her, having grown up in privilege. During the course of the novel, she will discover how different her life experiences have been compared to others, and her worldview will shift. It's part coming-of-age, part history, and part mystery, with a little romance. Wein adds background notes and sources for further reading.
