Sufiya Ahmed’s thrilling World War II adventure story is mostly set in France but gives a very good idea of what was happening in other parts of the world too.
Rosie Raja is an Indian princess but has just moved to England with her English father after her mother died. Bored, lonely and missing her family, she spies on one of her father’s meetings and discovers that he is a member of Churchill’s Special Operations Executive. Determined not to be left alone again, she follows him to occupied France, stowing away in his plane.
Soon she is undertaking spy missions herself, despite her father’s determination that children should be kept out of war.
Rosie’s adventures are tense, edge of the seat stuff, and readers are made fully aware of the terrible danger faced by spies and the resistance in France, while the more Rosie learns about war and the way the world is run, the more she understands the stance her ‘rebel’ aunt is taking in India.
A vivid and compelling story that also shows young readers’ the wider impact of the war and the sacrifices made by so many.
A thrilling and empowering WWII adventure about the French resistance and their British allies, with a determined, Muslim heroine. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo and Emma Carroll, and those looking for diverse historical fiction.
