An Unlikely Spy Terry Deary The Second World War has begun and Brigit has been evacuated to Wales so that she is safely away from her home near the aeroplane factories of Coventry.

Put Out the Light

Terry Deary

It’s 1918 and the Great War is coming to an end. A German boy, Marius, has been helping to care for wounded German soldiers on Aimee’s family farm in occupied France. With the threat of a traitor in the British army hanging over them, Marius and Aimee become unlikely allies.

It’s 1940 and two children in Sheffield are heading out to solve a mystery, confident the air-raid sirens are false alarms. Meanwhile, in Dachau, two boys come up with a bold plan to help a Polish prisoner escape. The four children’s adventures soon become entwined and they must all face a terrifying fight to survive.
