"A gripping, utterly convincing wartime spy story "
The game of hide and seek played in Robin Scott-Elliot’s wartime adventure is a deadly one. Amélie is hiding in the wardrobe when the Gestapo arrive and arrest her mother, father and older brother. Aged just 13, she’s on her own in Paris, having to fend for herself and stay hidden from the Nazi soldiers.
When luck brings her into contact with the Resistance, she finds a new family and carries on playing ever more dangerous games. Still only a child, she learns to trust no-one, and escapes to England for training with the SOE before returning to Paris for one final, desperate mission. Her story convinces us completely and there were real children like Amélie involved in the Resistance.
It vividly creates a sense of the times and of the terrifying daily lives of agents like Amélie.
