In the early 1940s, during World War II, Germany's Nazi regime expanded into neighboring European countries, committing horrific crimes against Jewish people and other groups. Enter: Virginia Hall. Born on a small Maryland farm, this brilliant woman's worldly ambitions led her to a clerical position at the U.S. embassy in Warsaw, Poland. While there, a hunting accident caused Hall to lose her leg. After being fitted with a wooden prosthetic leg, she persevered in her work. Hall soon became a spy for Allied forces, serving behind enemy lines in France. With cleverness and courage, Hall, who the Nazis nicknamed the "Limping Lady," eventually became one of the Allies' greatest assets and one the German Gestapo's most feared spies. In this action-packed, full-color graphic novel, learn more about this daring woman who took risks, defied expectations, and confronted the enemies of World War II"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a Ages 8-11 $b Capstone Press. 521 2 $a Grades 4-6 $b Capstone Press. 526 8 $a Accelerated Reader AR $b MG $c 5.0 $d 0.5 $z 520693. 600 10 $a Hall, Virginia, $d 1906-1982 $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women spies $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Comic books, strips, etc. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Spies $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Comic books, strips, etc. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Secret service $z Great Britain $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z France $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Espionage, American $z Europe $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Graphic novels. 650 0 $a Historical comics. 650 0 $a Biographical comics. 700 1 $a Chow, Samantha Feriolla, $e illustrator. 830 0 $a Graphic library. $p Women warriors of World War II. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012556.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240104032657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56190286AAD111EE853AF3262BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
