Jo –
Set during the Second World War, this verse form novel follows Bonnie whose brother has joined the RAF. She has always felt in his shadow, and longs to be a hero herself.
The mysterious Mr. Fisher is billeted on their household – is he a conscientious objector, or a spy? Bonnie resolves to find out.
I loved the inventive use of type in this novel, it really enhances the text, with curves and swoops and bold and faint letters. The story moves along quickly and the verse form might be good for reluctant readers too.
Great themes of adventure, resilience, bravery, strong but sidelined women, standing up for yourself – and STEM subjects – physics features heavily!
