Newbery Honor winner Kathryn Lasky, author of the Guardians of Ga'hoole series, delivers a riveting adventure about young British spies on a secret mission in Germany in WWII. "Fascinating and riveting, especially for history buffs and spy aficionados." -Kirkus "A page-turner, particularly for readers intrigued by WWII." -Booklist "With a well-detailed historical backdrop and a puzzling familial mystery, this novel delivers intrigue." -Publishers Weekly Over the centuries, a small clan of spies called the Tabula Rasa has worked ceaselessly to fight oppression. They can pass unseen through enemy lines and "become" other people without being recognized. They are, essentially, faceless. Alice and Louise Winfield are sisters and spies in the Tabula Rasa. They're growing up in wartime England, where the threat of Nazi occupation is ever near. But Louise wants to live an ordinary life and leaves the agency. Now, as Alice faces her most dangerous assignment yet, she fears discovery, but, most of all, she fears losing her own sister. This upper middle grade novel is a mix of espionage and historical adventure and will appeal to fans of Elizabeth Wein and Ruta Sepetys. Lasky masterfully spins a tale filled with mystery, suspense, and intrigue that will have readers hooked. Faceless is also a springboard for the study of Word War II, with special interest to classrooms that would like to teach subjects such as Hitler, the Nazi regime, and anti-Nazi resistance.

'Girls are cool. But we are not always cool to each other.' Being a teenager is hard work, but being a teenage girl is even harder! And to top it all off, instead of supporting each other through these challenging years, girls tend to cut each other down. Far from being made of sugar and spice, teenage girls are instead powered by a multitude of body changing, mind bending hormones, making the complex terrain of social relationships harder than ever to navigate. Surviving the gossip, note passing, taunting and teasing of school is a challenge for any teen, but without doubt, it is girls who specialise in the art of being "mean". Why do we behave this way? And what can we do to break these painful cycles of envy and passive-aggression? Packed with no-nonsense explanations and positive advice for both victims and "mean" girls, Bonnie Burton outlines how we can isolate the "mean" from the teen and find permanent and positive solutions to female bullying.
