Tamar by Mal Peet

Tamar by Mal Peet  


Tamar is about two America spies, named Tamar and Dart, that are dropped into England in 1945 as undercover agents. Then the story switches to 1995 where a fifteen-year-old girl also named Tamar discovers a secret that her grandfather left behind. It switches back to 1945 where Tamar and Dart are having fights and eventually split up. Then the Tamar in 1995 follows the clues in the briefcase she finds and leads her and a friend of hers named Yoyo on a trip to America that will change her life forever.
          I like this book because it seems to catch my attention and make me want to read more.The transitions between the times keep readers in suspense of what will happen next from where they left off.Also the personalities of the characters always have tensions and arguing between themselves.
           I would give this book a four out of five, mainly because the ending was unclear that there was a transition between the times without you noticing. Other than that the book was great, had a good plot, a great climax, and a twisted resolution at the end. I’m looking forward to reading his other books.
