Book Band: Dark Red (ideal for ages 10+)
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.
July, 1941. Rosina Raja is half-Indian and half-English. She has always lived in India, so when her mother passes away and she moves to England (where it rains all the time) she is miserable and doesn't have any friends. Life changes dramatically for Rosie when she discovers that her army captain father is actually a spy for the British government. She can't bear to be left behind so she stows away in his plane.
Finding herself in occupied France, Rosie is soon drawn into the struggle against the Nazis. With new allies and new enemies at every turn, she must help her father complete his mission, and more importantly… make sure they both get home alive.

Gripping, such a brilliant, fresh addition to the shelf.
Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse
Perfect for fans of war-time historical fiction. I loved Rosie's story.
Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha and the Spirit Bird
A vivid and gripping, superbly told historical adventure.
Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs and The Girl Who Speaks Bear
Rosie Raja's thrilling and heart-felt adventure is a triumph! It's full of secrets and spies, bravery and betrayal, and it shines a light on the often overlooked sacrifice of Indian personnel in WW2
Dan Smith, author of My Brother's Secret and Nisha's War
Loved Rosie Raja! A gripping, action-packed and sensitively-told historical adventure with a bold Muslim heroine who has a foot in two worlds. Another brilliant book from Sufiya Ahmed.
Rashmi Sirdeshpande, author of Never Show a T-Rex a Book and Cash
... I genuinely feared for Rosie's safety because I had really learned to love her. Her attitude, her directness, her desire to learn. I'd suggest this is a must have for any class studying the Second World War, especially as it embraces colonial history in a way that lots of WW2 literature completely misses.
Fleur Hitchcock, author of The Boy Who Flew and Murder in Midwinter
