This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not.
This book really hooks the reader in at the start. It makes you want to read further to find out what happens. It is about the Greenpeace ship being sunk by some French spies. It is suitable Intermediate age readers.
