Tragedy brings Amelie Meyer back to Berlin. It's been four years since she was forced to flee her home, leaving everything behind -- including her father.

​Transformed by the Nazis, Berlin is now a drab and dangerous city, and Amelie can't wait to return to Paris. But before she can leave, she finds herself swept up in an intrigue that makes her question everything she thinks she knows about her father. Is he a traitor or a hero? The only way to find out is to put her own life on the line.

My Thoughts 

THE DOKTOR'S DAUGHTER is written  by Nancy McDonald. This is a middle grade fiction book that I read with my 11 year old son. We have read a few other of this author's work and have loved the historical detail she puts into them. It was good to catch up with Amelie Meyer. It's been four years since she had to leave everything behind. She has been living in Paris with her aunt and sibling. 
Her city is not the same. It's war torn and unrecognizable since she left. Amelie has grown up since the last book.   They are back in Berlin since Amelie's father died in an accident. After the funeral an older couple slips her a note which she forgets about. In the cemetery - an gentleman comes to Amelie and tells her stories about her father. 
The author did an amazing job capturing what life would have been like. As a historian, historical details are important in books. I feel it gives the reader a lesson and teaches them new things. 
Thank you to the author, publisher and IRead book tours - all thoughts are my own.
