📖Review: Stateless by Elizabeth Wein
This high flying adventure will have you on the edge of your seat.
Stella North, also known as the British Rose, is the only female pilot participating in the Circus of the Air, a publicity event trying to promote peace in Europe. From day one, tensions rise as Stella witnesses a murder on her first flight. Who could be trying to undermine the intent of the event? As the event continues, secrets of the flyers are revealed and the stakes are high.
This thrilling romp through 1937 Europe conveys the wonder of flying during this time period, while also carefully revealing the tension in Europe as history approaches WWII. Through the entire story, I could feel the powder keg of Europe through the travel of the air race and between the contestants.
This YA historical fiction is perfect for:
▪️those curious about Europe leading into WWII
▪️those interested in bi-planes and other aviation technology
▪️readers of Alan Gratz novels
▪️readers who love historical fiction
I could hardly put this book down as I read it. I highly recommend this thrilling adventure.
