It's a thrilling, action-packed, information-filled, double-triple-crossing, rip-roaring adventure!
Dan Smith, author of My Brother's Secret and Nisha's War
It's an exotic adventure! With diverse representation, Sufiya's books are SO important as they put a spotlight on the contribution that other communities made to the war effort. Another must for all school libraries! You'll love Rosie!
A.M. Dassu, author of Boy, Everywhere
Children in Key Stage 2 will be captivated by this WWII story because it gives a perspective from a different part of the Empire and also highlights how war can divide opinions. This book would be a fantastic aid for history topics linked to WWII or even PSHE and RE.

Excitement, mystery and adventure in WW2 Cairo written by the brilliant Sufiya Ahmed and beautifully illustrated by Hazem Asif.
Sophie Kirtley, author of The Wild Way Home and The Impossible Island
What a triumph! The "whodunnit" kept me guessing throughout. Love the mix of cultures amidst WWII. Important points raised about artefacts and British appropriation but in child-friendly way.
