Sepetys Does It Again
Once again, Ruta Sepetys just booked one of my weekends for me! Every time I see that she has written in your book, I know that it won’t be long before I must have it in my hands to read for myself. She has an amazing way making the past come alive for even the least proficient of history students. I Must Betray You immediately draws the reader in, forcing the question— why must he betray you? To feel it’s necessary — and possible! — to hold up a hopeful, though tattered, flag in such dire, gray circumstances as are depicted on the cover immediately has me cheering for a spy to take down the evil dictatorship.
