Early Praise for THE ENEMY "The Enemy is a must read... It is compelling, accurate, and hugely intimate." --Chris Crutcher, author of STAYING FAT FOR SARAH BYRNES, ATHLETIC SHORTS, and others "A brilliant picture of an era that must be remembered so we do not repeat the same mistakes." --Sharon M. Draper, author of OUT OF MY MIND, STELLA BY STARLIGHT and five-time Coretta Scott King Award--winner "Spies, commies, and coming to terms with the aftermath of WWII! ... A worthy debut!" --Pam Munoz Ryan, Newbery Honor--winner and author of ECHO and ESPERANZA RISING "A stunning historical novel of character, alternately laugh-out-loud funny and deeply disturbing." --Jane Yolen, author of THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC, GIRL IN A CAGE, OWL MOON, and others "Poet Holbrook brings back the Cold War in her debut novel for middle grades. A solid fictional examination of a time rarely depicted for this age group. She's ace at delineating the petty jealousies and tyrannies of middle school girls and her evocation of the era feels absolutely true. Marjorie's cowardice and ultimate courage lead to a rousingly satisfying ending that...will resonate with readers." -- Kirkus Reviews
