Impossible Escape: A True Story of Survival and Heroism in Nazi Europe
by Steve Sheinkin
informative
tense
fast-paced
Narrative nonfiction is always more engaging to read, and Sheinkin has an excellent writing style in that aspect. WWII is covered a lot when it comes to YA history, but this was a story I wasn't familiar with. It's told with suspense and really lays out everything that was going on in Europe at the time. A fairly quick read, but still just as powerful.
The overall tone works well for its target audience, And I can see teens interested in the subject matter definitely picking this one up.
