Nika –
This is definitely one of the most exciting middle grade books this year! Sidney’s boarding school has been evacuated to Stanbrook House, a grand estate in the countryside. There she meets the housemaid Nancy and they instantly hate each other. But when both of them happen to overhear Earl Evesham talking about illegal activities, they know they must join forces to stop him. After all, more than their job and school admission is at stake … I was holding my breath during the grand finale, when the Earl is confronted in a very ingenious way! Set during World War II, this is a thrilling adventure story, which talks about British traitors and the powerlessness of ordinary people to stop them (luckily not in this case!)
