<b>Rosie Raja’s thrilling and heart-felt adventure is a triumph! </b>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, <b>action-packed</b> and <b>sensitively-told </b>historical adventure with a <b>bold Muslim heroine</b> 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 <b>a must have for any class studying the Second World War</b>, 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
