A thrilling World War II adventure set in occupied France, featuring an Indian RAF pilot. Great for fans of Michael Morpurgo and John Boyne, and those who want diverse historical fiction.
Thirteen-year-old Joelle Breton stumbles across Indian-born RAF pilot Mohinder Singh when his plane crashes in occupied France and it's up to her and her parents to hide him from the Nazis. After all, her parents are brave members of the French Resistance and will do everything they can to help get Mohinder back to Britain. But when they are betrayed and tragedy strikes, Joelle and Mohinder will have to act fast if they are ever to evade the enemy.

Short, and driven by compelling characters, engaging dialogue and an onward-marching pace, this is perfect for reluctant readers who may struggle to keep focus. It's also excellent for prompting discussions around WWII and broader ethical issues.
LoveReading4Kids, Book of the month
Rai's style is spare and immediate, immersing the child reader instantly in the peril and the grief of a wartime struggle for survival with enemies on every side, and the charismatic Mo is an enormously warm and personable hero.
Imogen Russell Williams, TLS
Bali Rai's writing is a perfect balance between simplicity and truth for children to grasp the realities of these events during WWII.
