When Lingard and Mrs Travers reach the Emma Jorgenson is truculent and hostile . Lingard questions Mrs Travers somewhat jealously about d'Alcacer, whilst she in her turn thinks that Lingard is enamoured of Immada, by who they are joined on board with Hassim. A lot can happen in a dog's life but a lot can be said for their years. If anything, it's that life is meant to be lived one moment at a time.

As Dr. Felix Rodriguez shows Bettina around the clinic, they come to a dog she wants to hear more about (named “shot dog” by the vet). He says that a young boy brought him in, bleeding and suffering from grave injuries. He labored to save the animal, giving him a second chance. Almost without thinking, Bettina adopts the dog. Of course, she knows nothing about him or how he got hurt; she just can’t let him die after all that she has heard. The dog’s 30-day adoption period expires that very day. He can no longer be kept at the clinic, and he can't be released onto the streets. That leaves just one option.

But there is a little action towards the end. Aside from the action, I was holding my breath towards the very end because I desperately wanting a very specific ending. Let’s just say I am very happy how things turned out. I will say that I was pleased with the ending. Early on, I considered how the author might go about things, and there was only one conclusion that I felt would satisfy me. Fortunately, the author seemed to feel the same way, as that’s the route he took. The writing was good, engaging, and full of compassion for our four-legged friends.. all good things. It just wasn't enough for me in the end. I was taught that everyone has three choices in life. To be part of the good, part of the evil, or to try standing in the middle. Those who refuse to choose one side or the other only get in the way of those who are doing good, and in that way, and up helping those who wish to do evil.”

He is followed around by Jorgenson, an old sea-captain whose life has been ruined.

Bettina is doing a story about an under funded animal rescue in Tijuana when she spots Joe recovering from a gun shot wound. Today is his last day to be adopted or he will be euthanized and, bless her, Bettina takes him home. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. It was the first time in a year that I knew my son could learn. Such a small thing, but until that point, neither my wife nor I knew whether he was capable of that. And then, for the first time in what seemed like forever, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. A tiny light, but a light nonetheless.Nielsen has included a section called Secret Codes at the end of the novel for readers intrigued by them that includes all kinds of different codes they can try. I was one of those geeky kids who loved codes and secret languages growing up and still have a fascination for them.* There is also a section called The Special Operations Executive for readers unfamiliar with this organization created by Winston Churchill in 1940. They take him to a training facility where they are impressed and state they want to train Joe to be a DEA drug-sniffer. Look at the different colours used in the illustrations.

This was all happening in 1996, and 1996 was a pretty eventful year for me. 1996 was the year my father died. In 1996, I was still worried about my sister’s health, and 1996 was the year The Notebook was published. Needless to say, there was a lot going on that year.

When I first met you, I thought you were a little stubborn, but I was wrong. You are easily the most stubborn person I’ve ever met” (285).

Overall, I really liked this book! It was engaging and interesting. Though it did not seem quite as rich in research as Resistance, it still seemed very accurate. The other characters? Less interesting. They're written well and they're not unlikable.. they just seemed contradictory and I feel like that prevented me from really connecting with any of them. Another fabulous piece of historical fiction by Jennifer Nielson! This one is the story of 12-year-old Meg, who has been working for the Resistance in her small village in occupied France. After discovering an injured British spy, she sets off across France and through the French Alps to help smuggle three Germans to safety. She relies on the code games she had played with her father before he went undercover as well. An exciting adventure full of twists and turns. Who can Meg really trust on this perilous journey? Her father's fate lies in her hands. Highly recommended for grades 4 & up.Right to the quibble: there are extra words and a few wrong letters scattered about here. And we have that apparent Californian obscenity 'surrounded on three sides'. How a major publisher can put out a major author's book with these errors---oh, well, it is because the world deludes itself into thinking a program can do the work of a mind. Someday it may well. Not yet. This book was actually quite good. Just bare in mind that this book is aimed at primary school children and there are times that is more than obvious. If you keep that in mind you will really enjoy this book.
