Praise for Swimming with Spies Amazon Best of the Month * ""The rich, detailed descriptions of Sofiya's experience training the mammals, which Lucyk-Berger deftly blends with Ukrainian political history, are captivating and Sofiya's deep bond with them suffuses this affecting story of a preteen grappling with her understanding of her own Ukrainian Russian identity and the loss of her mother."" -- Publisher's Weekly, starred review ""As they hatch a daring plan to rescue the dolphins, their steadfast teamwork and mutual trust against a backdrop of conflict is inspiring. A heart-pounding, thought-provoking adventure based on true events."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Nuanced characters and brisk pacing add interest to a novel focusing on historical events that are now current events and rarely written about in middle grade fiction."" -- School Library Journal
