I’ve written two WWII trilogies. The first trilogy is Making Bombs for Hitler<\/a>, Stolen Girl<\/a> and The War Below<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s their order? You can read either Making Bombs or Stolen Girl first, but read The War Below last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second trilogy should be read in this order: Don’t Tell the Nazis<\/a>, Trapped in Hitler’s Web<\/a>, and Traitors Among Us<\/a>. While there is enough context in each of the novels so that they can be read as standalones, to get a true picture of Krystia and Maria\u2019s experiences in WWII, reading them in the order that I wrote them is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Tell the Nazis was originally published in Canada in 2018 as Don’t Tell the Enemy. After that, Scholastic Books and Scholastic Canada published my books simultaneously, and with the same title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winterkill<\/a> takes place before World War II, at a time in the 1930s when the dictator from Moscow implemented a plan to starve Ukrainians to death so he could replace them with people of Russian and Belarusian heritage. Millions of Ukrainians were killed. This genocide is called the Holodomor (holod = hunger; mor=death). This novel chillingly reflects what is happening in Ukraine now, with Putin trying to repeat history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
