genre: YA historic fiction
What to say about this amazing book? I was moved by it. Rose Justice is an 18-year-old pilot moving planes for the RAF during WWII. She is sweet, smart, and strong. When she is forced to land by German Luftwaffe and sent to Ravensbruck, her life changes forever. Getting to know the Polish "rabbits," the women who have been experimented on, and experiencing the horrors of the camp traumatize Rose.
Pick's narration was exquisite. This book was simply amazing. Because it starts off in a more light-hearted manner, the contrast with the camp is sharp. Rose grows up more than any young woman should have to.
