Welcome to my new book review series "Question in a Bottle." This is an E Train Talks video series where I answer questions about interesting upper-middle grade or YA books I've read and recommend!

And in this episode, I'm spotlighting DOUBLE CROSSED: THE WWII SPIES WHO SAVED D-DAY!

DOUBLE CROSSED: THE WWII SPIES WHO SAVED D-DAY by Rebecca E. F. Barone feels like you're stepping straight into a real-life spy mission, yet it's a true, nonfunctional novel.

DOUBLE CROSSED is an action-packed retelling of “Operation Bodyguard," the covert operation of double agents and spies that worked behind the scenes and risked their lives to help fool the Nazis during World War II.

If you’re looking for a middle-grade nonfiction story that reads like a thriller, then DOUBLE CROSSED is definitely a book to check out! 10/10

These are my spontaneous answers to questions written by mom to help share my thoughts on this very interesting book.Thanks for watching my new book review series, "Questions in a Bottle"! Be sure to like, subscribe, and check out more book reviews on the channel.
