Such a sweet story based on true events. The chapter are very short which makes this very approachable for kids. I listened to the audio and really enjoyed it. Highly recommended this book to both kids and adults.

Loved this book. A page turner I couldn't put down. action packed with historical elements makes this book phenomenonal. ends with a satisfying conclusion but there will be another book so we don't get all the answers. Highly recommend to kids and grownups!
