About Bluebird
Product Description Author of Reese's Book Club YA Pick The Light in Hidden Places, Sharon Cameron, delivers an emotionally gripping and utterly immersive thriller, perfect for fans of Ruta Sepetys's Salt to the Sea. In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles, and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird -- a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess. But Eva hasn't come to America for secrets or power. She hasn't even come for a new life. She has come to America for one thing: justice. And the Nazi that has escaped its net. Critically acclaimed author of The Light in Hidden Places Sharon Cameron weaves a taut and affecting thriller ripe with intrigue and romance in this alternately chilling and poignant portrait of the personal betrayals, terrifying injustices, and deadly secrets that seethe beneath the surface in the aftermath of World War II. From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-In 1946, Eva and her traumatized sister Brigit arrive in New York City, having left the rubble of Berlin and postwar Europe behind them. However, there is no peace for Eva. Their arrival to America was the result of a rotten deal Eva made, one involving American and Soviet spies and Nazi doctors. Eva knows about Project Bluebird-an experiment run by the Nazis in concentration camps where innocent victims were tortured for the purpose of mind control. Eva knows about this because her father was the one who designed the experiment. Having broken free from Nazi teachings, Eva just wants justice for the victims and vengeance for herself. Cameron delivers another outstanding historical novel. Clearly meticulously researched but deeply engaging and immersive, the narrative seamlessly blends fictional characters and events with real people and places. The plot unfolds through two time lines in alternating chapters, building suspense as readers are driven to discover the true horror of Project Bluebird and Eva's search for justice. Trigger warnings may be required when recommending this as there is implied sexual assault, graphic depictions of concentration camps, and some violence. Readers already experienced with World War II and postwar historical fiction will already be aware of the realistic content found in the genre.
