It’s 1942 in the occupied city of Prague. Jewish people are being transported out to Theresienstadt and times are hard especially when a high-ranking German SS Commander is assassinated. Karl Rozenburg realises his fate and seeks the help of the Novak family to procure a treasure that is of importance to the Jewish people. The Novaks embark on a quest which proves to be complicated, requiring skill and cunning to follow the trail.

Like her first book, this was captivating from start to finish. I didn’t want to put the book down. It teaches a lot of the history and what people had to go through during the war. I would recommend this as a good read for both adult and junior child.
After reading the first book I was very impatient waiting for this one. As expected I wasn’t disappointed it was phenomenal. I was so hooked from start to finish and can’t wait to be able to share with my little boy when he is a bit older. The research that must have gone in to making this book so captivating shows how talented this author is. I would recommend to both adult and child and can’t wait to see more from the author.
