"[A]n impressive story of wartime female solidarity."―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"The horror of the camp, with its medical experimentation on Polish women-called Rabbits-is ably captured. Yet, along with the misery, Wein also reveals the humanity that can surface, even in the worst of circumstances." ―Booklist

"Wein's second World War II adventure novel - the first, "Code Name Verity," was highly praised last year - captures poignantly the fragility of hope and the balm forgiveness offers."―The New York Times

" Rose Under Fire' is bound to soar into the promised land of young adult books read by actual adults-and deservedly so, because Wein's unself-consciously important story is timeless, ageless and triumphant."―The Los Angeles Times

* "At once heartbreaking and hopeful, Rose Under Fire will stay with readers long after they have finished the last page."―VOYA, starred review

* "In plot and character this story is consistently involving, a great, page-turning read; just as impressive is how subtly Wein brings a respectful, critical intelligence to her subject."―The Horn Book, starred review

* "Readers will connect with Rose and be moved by her struggle to go forward, find her wings again, and fly."―School Library Journal, 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

* "[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 Reviews, starred review
