Book Review + Giveaway: The Doktor’s Daughter

Title: The Doktor’s Daughter | Author: Nancy McDonald | Genre: Middle Grade (Historical Fiction) | Publisher: Iguana Books | Release Date: June 2022


Book Description: 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: In the follow-up to the heart-racing Girl on the Run (review here), seventeen year old Amelie heads back to Berlin in the midst of rising tensions in The Doktor’s Daughter. What she finds is a web of clues that points to the one person she thought she trusted, her father. Forced to choose between going back to the safety of Paris with her aunt and younger sister or searching for the truth, Amelie decides to find out what really happened, no matter what the cost.

In yet another fast-paced, intriguing novel by historical fiction guru, Nancy McDonald, The Doktor’s Daughter exposes Nazi Germany through the eyes of a clever, capable teenager. With incredible attention to detail, the story weaves little-known facts — like a school for brides of Nazi officers — in-between a deftly-written drama that steadily builds in tension. Aimed at middle grade, but enjoyable for adults as well, The Doktor’s Daughter, Girl on the Run, and previous books by the author including Boy from Berlin and One Boy’s War, are page-turners that tempt you to read just one more chapter. Then another. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended!

    1. I love it too! I was excited at a response from the author that said: “A sequel is slated for spring 2024 so please stay tuned.” That would make five books in the series, I believe. Hopefully, I’ll be reviewing the next book as well. Would love to know what you think of it!
