Praise for Code Name Verity 'Code Name Verity does more than stick with me. It haunts me. I just can't recommend it enough.' - Author Maggie Stiefvater 'I liked Code Name Verity enormously... you are sucked into the viewpoint and don't realise for a long time that everything is double edged and has a second meaning.' - Author Helen Dunmore 'A remarkable book, which had me horrified and totally gripped at the same time.' - Daily Mail
