Book Description
I had gone east to protect a kindergarten-aged Taylor from a Witch Rose that sucked the essence out of children for power. As a teenager, Taylor had gone east with me to finish off that same Witch Rose. Now as a young college student, Taylor, with only Salem as a companion, was going west for another Witch Rose adventure. This one to help a Witch Rose that was supposedly good, living off provided plant seeds and seedlings instead of young children for its power. A hard truth to swallow, considering what we knew from our other Witch Rose encounters. But neither of them had involved the local Native Americans or a billionaire who wanted the Witch Rose's secret to the near immortality for those who controlled it. Worst of all, from my outlook? I am Taylor's grandfather, and for the first time, I was not going to be there to protect her.

Book Description
Don’t miss Elizabeth Wein’s stunning new novel, Stateless While flying an Allied fighter plane from Paris to England, American ATA pilot and amateur poet, Rose Justice, is captured by the Nazis and sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious women's concentration camp. Trapped in horrific circumstances, Rose finds hope in the impossible through the loyalty, bravery, and friendship of her fellow prisoners. But will that be enough to endure the fate that’s in store for her? Elizabeth Wein, author of the critically-acclaimed and best-selling Code Name Verity, delivers another stunning WWII thriller. The unforgettable story of Rose Justice is forged from heart-wrenching courage, resolve, and the slim, bright chance of survival. Praise for Rose Under Fire * “Wein masterfully sets up a stark contrast between the innocent American teen’s view of an untarnished world and the realities of the Holocaust. [A]lthough the story’s action follows [Code Name Verity]’s, it has its own, equally incandescent integrity. Rich in detail, from the small kindnesses of fellow prisoners to harrowing scenes of escape and the Nazi Doctors’ Trial in Nuremburg, at the core of this novel is the resilience of human nature and the power of friendship and hope.” —Kirkus, starred review * “Wein excels at weaving research seamlessly into narrative and has crafted another indelible story about friendship borne out of unimaginable adversity.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
