Multi-award-winning author Tom Palmer shines a light on life under wartime occupation, in a beautifully told story inspired by the childhood of Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn.

As the brutal Second World War stretches on with no end in sight, life for ordinary Dutch people in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands is fraught with peril and hardship. There is very little to eat and the population lives under the constant threat of arrest and enslavement. After the murder of her beloved uncle and the capture of her brother by the Germans, Edda is determined to do anything she can to help the resistance fight back against their oppressors. But what can a teenage girl do and how much risk is she willing to take?

Intriguing and engaging to the reader with sensational suspense. A great story with ups and downs and a great recommendation to any novice reader. Useful information of World War II of how the Germans invaded the Netherlands and a girl desperately wanting the Nazis to leave the Netherlands.

Ian was my favourite character because he was a good brother to his sister Edda. He was also brave. I also found the history that the story was based on really interesting,
