Orphan Monster Spy

Her name is Sarah. She’s blonde, blue-eyed, and Jewish in 1939 Germany. And her act of resistance is about to change the world.

“Deeply disturbing and chillingly good.”—Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity

“Inglourious Basterds meets Mean Girls.”—The Hollywood Reporter

She’s a liar. A thief. And the Nazi’s worst nightmare.

Sarah’s actress mother spent years teaching her how to become someone else. Now her mother is dead and Sarah is hiding in plain sight among the daughters of the Nazi elite. A brilliant con artist, she’s out to befriend the daughter of an important scientist and get her hands on the bomb blueprints in his heavily guarded manor.

The more deeply embedded she becomes in this world of monsters, the graver the danger. But she’s determined to get her revenge on them all.
