Her name is Sarah. She’s blonde, blue-eyed, and Jewish in 1939 Germany. And her act of resistance is about to change the world.

“Deeply disturbing and chillingly good.”—Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity

“Inglourious Basterds meets Mean Girls.”—The Hollywood Reporter

She’s a liar. A thief. And the Nazi’s worst nightmare.

Sarah’s actress mother spent years teaching her how to become someone else. Now her mother is dead and Sarah is hiding in plain sight among the daughters of the Nazi elite. A brilliant con artist, she’s out to befriend the daughter of an important scientist and get her hands on the bomb blueprints in his heavily guarded manor.

The more deeply embedded she becomes in this world of monsters, the graver the danger. But she’s determined to get her revenge on them all. Fiction historique Histoire et culture Policier, thrillers et œuvres à suspense Roman et littérature Thrillers et œuvres à suspense

Commentaires

“A stunning, smart, grounded tale of intrigue in Nazi Germany, so guilty and detailed it feels like true memory rather than fiction. Sarah is an angry, appealing, heart-wrenching hero, superhuman and achingly frail in equal measure. I wish I’d written this myself. Deeply disturbing and chillingly good.”—Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity

“I found myself mesmerized by Sarah’s journey into a world of human monsters. Orphan Monster Spy weaves one heroine’s courage through a spectrum of darkness, and the effects resonate long after the final page.”—Ryan Graudin, award-winning author of the Wolf By Wolf duology

“Killeen expertly conjures the day-to-day evil of Nazi Germany in this terrific page turner.”—Paul Dowswell, award-winning author of The Auslander

“A powerful, bleak, and penetrating portrait of an isolated young woman excelling in unimaginable danger.”—Kirkus Reviews

This was recommended reading on The Golden Egg writing for children 1 year course - and stands up as finer writing and a better plot than most adult books I have read for a long time. How I would have loved this as a teenager! This book has great characterization, plot, narrative - tension and a constant upping of the stakes that makes it unbearably tense at times. Looking forward to Sarah’s next operations and there is a canny question left dangling at the end as to the integrity of one character. Highly recommend.
