A thrilling wartime adventure about two brave and resourceful Dutch teenagers. When Tygo discovers a Jewish girl hiding in a chimney clutching a diamond, he refuses to give her up. Instead he turns spy, trading the jewel for information that will end Hitler's war. Exploring the widely held view that Hitler had plans for a weapon of mass destruction, William Osborne has created a brilliantly original and page-turning adventure of friendship, loyalty and trust from a snippet of World War Two history.
A Piece of Passion from Barry Cunningham, Publisher I adore the what-would-happen-if stories from history that nearly happened. What could we have done if Hitler had finished developing his ultimate weapon or escaped at the last minute – but more importantly still, what if it was all down to a bunch of renegade kids? Step up and find out – William Osborne makes it all come true (nearly).
