I, too, am greatly enjoying listening to "Code Name Verity" after having rea d the book and am again thrilled by Wein's superb writing as I listen to her novel read aloud.

I also listened today to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from Birmingh am Jail, (part of the Sync YA Literature program), King's magnificent prose b eautifully read by Dion Graham -- which was particularly moving after havin g just read Cynthia Levinson's book, "We've Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham C hildren's March" -- a great pairing that brings additional depth to both.
