To Rise Again tells the story of Louise, an 8-year-old little girl, sent on dangerous missions to bring messages to an English spy in a Nazi outpost. I thought she was a good character and I loved her adventure. The setting for the story was in old and mysterious mansion on the island of Jersey off the coast of England. To Rise Again was a fun read and I like the James Bond feel with espionage and a good double cross. For me the story had a slow start but by a few chapters in it picked up its pace and had my attention, and finished strongly. The story is a mix of a thriller/mystery and science fiction which all worked well together. As the plot unfolded the story really gets moving and I thought the conspiracy and science fiction aspects were really unique. The plot to spy and retrieve the plans of the Nazi’s was not only interesting but a good twist on the history of World War II. The final reveal of the Nazi plan was frightening and fit well with their need to rule the world.
