It’s about time the forgotten women of WWII get celebrated and honoured and their exploits told.
Brilliant! 👍🏻
Brilliant book, just like the first one, my niece loves them. Please write more!
Most interesting

Fun and Original!
It is brilliant. I could not put it down
Who would have expected the difficult second book to be so good? What an excellent job of work has been done here.
wonderful premise that will teach so many young people about the impact of especially women in the war!
Iszi is an amazing writer and the way history is included in these children’s books makes them learn and maybe spark further interest in the subject.
Great stuff!
Iszi is a wonderful writer who brings her characters to life in unexpected ways. Thoroughly recommend her books to readers of all ages (I’m 57!!)
