JENNIFER A. NIELSEN'S UPCOMING HISTORICAL NOVEL TRIVIA CONTEST!
Jennifer A. Nielsen has a new historical novel coming out in March of 2021. To tide us over while we wait, she is offering a cover reveal trivia contest. Her historical novels are fabulous and I'm excited about this upcoming one. Here are the covers from her other historical novels. Click on them to visit the Goodreads summary of each one.
BOOK SUMMARY FOR NEW HISTORICAL NOVEL
(You will have to wait to find out the title until the cover is revealed.)
Six hundred and fifty-seven days ago, Meg Kenyon's father left their home in France to fight for the Allies in World War II, and that was the last time Meg saw him. Recently, she heard he was being held prisoner by the Nazis, a terrible sentence from which Meg fears he'll never return. All she has left of him are the codes he placed in a jar for her to decipher, an affectionate game the two of them shared. But the codes are running low, and soon there'll be nothing left of Papa for Meg to hold on to at all.
Suddenly, an impossible chance to save her father falls into Meg's lap. After following a trail of blood in the snow, Meggie finds an injured British spy hiding in her grandmother's barn. Captain Stewart tells her that a family of German refugees must be guided across Nazi-occupied France to neutral Spain, whereupon one of them has promised to free Meg's father. Captain Stewart was meant to take that family on their journey, but too injured to complete the task himself, he offers it to Meg, along with a final code from Papa to help complete the mission -- perhaps the most important, and most difficult, riddle she's received yet.
As the Nazis flood Meg's village in fierce pursuit, she accepts the duty and begins the trek across France. Leading strangers through treacherous territory, Meg faces danger and uncertainty at every turn, all the while struggling to crack her father's code. The message, as she unravels it, reveals secrets costly enough to risk the mission and even her own life. Can Meg solve the puzzle, rescue the family, and save her father?

TRIVIA QUESTION
#3. What was the carte d’identité and what would happen if you didn’t have one?
(Make sure you answer both parts of the question in the comments below.)
GOOD LUCK!
The Carte d’Identité was a french ID card that every citizen had to carry. If they did not have it and were stopped by the police, they would be taken into custody.

the carte d’identité is the national identity card (identification card). everyone had to carry their ID card at all times to show who they were and where they lived. the authorities check the ID for security reasons and they thought it helped detect spies. if you didn't have your ID on you, it's punishable by fine, imprisonment or both.
ReplyDeleteA carte d'identité (French for identity card) was an ID that all French citizens under the occupation had to carry. Without it, you could be arrested. Also, you had to have one in order to get ration cards, so without one, you couldn't get food.
