Orphan Monster Spy

Sarah is a Jewish teenager living in Nazi Germany. She attempts to flee with her mother but finds herself orphaned at a soldier checkpoint. Now Sarah is alone in a hostile society. She is reliant upon her acting skills and powers of observation to survive. Sarah helps a British Spy and is taken under his wing, being sent to a tough boarding school for the Nazi elite. Her mission is to infiltrate a top German scientist's home. Sarah is an intelligent and resilient heroine and Orphan Monster Spy is a real page-turner that will take you from one drama to the next without pausing for breath. This is historical fiction with a contemporary twist that highlights the possible nuclear threat of World War II. It's an amazing debut novel that is set for a sequel and I cannot wait to read it! Note: There is an attempted rape (no explicit details). 400 pages / Ages 14+ / Reviewed by Clair Bossons, school librarian.
