Orphan Monster Spy by Matt Killeen
4.0
I received this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Sarah is a Jew living in Nazi Germany and she uses all of her wile to survive. When her mother is shot at a checkpoint and Sarah scrambles to find another plan and way out, she saves a British spy. He gives her a new direction, yet it will lead her back into the heart of Germany and threaten her safety more than ever before. Sarah is tasked with pretending to be his young niece and attending a prestigious boarding school with the children of Nazi officials. There she is to become friends with important people and discover key information for the enemy.
While it took me a few chapters to get into this novel, once I was invested I was all in. The plot moves quickly, the characters are cheeky and funny, yet serious and compelling. I would enjoy this as a series and would love to see what happens next (because so much more could happen next). I think this work was well-crafted and provided depth.
