"An exciting middle-grade novel set in the Second World War"
January 2023 Debut of the Month
John, George and Eva are three siblings involved in the war in contrasting, but equally dramatic, ways. George is a secret agent parachuted into Slovakia to blow up trains in an operation codenamed ‘Zinc’. Eva, living in Hungary, is involved with the Resistance, while John is a code-breaker at Bletchley Park.
Based on the extraordinary real-life stories of Sue Klauber's father, uncle and aunt, she wrote Zinc for her son to celebrate the full and heroic engagement of their North London Jewish family in the fight against tyranny.
