Book SynopsisBook Band: Dark Red (ideal for ages 10+) A thrilling and empowering WWII adventure about the French resistance and their British allies, with a determined, Muslim heroine. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo and Emma Carroll, and those looking for diverse historical fiction. July, 1941. Rosina Raja is half-Indian and half-English. She has always lived in India, so when her mother passes away and she moves to England (where it rains all the time) she is miserable and doesn’t have any friends. Life changes dramatically for Rosie when she discovers that her army captain father is actually a spy for the British government. She can’t bear to be left behind so she stows away in his plane. Finding herself in occupied France, Rosie is soon drawn into the struggle against the Nazis. With new allies and new enemies at every turn, she must help her father complete his mission, and more importantly… make sure they both get home alive.Trade ReviewGripping, such a brilliant, fresh addition to the shelf. * Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse *Perfect for fans of war-time historical fiction. I loved Rosie’s story. * Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha and the Spirit Bird *A vivid and gripping, superbly told historical adventure. * Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs and The Girl Who Speaks Bear *Rosie Raja’s thrilling and heart-felt adventure is a triumph! It’s full of secrets and spies, bravery and betrayal, and it shines a light on the often overlooked sacrifice of Indian personnel in WW2 * Dan Smith, author of My Brother's Secret and Nisha's War *Loved Rosie Raja! A gripping, action-packed and sensitively-told historical adventure with a bold Muslim heroine who has a foot in two worlds. Another brilliant book from Sufiya Ahmed. * Rashmi Sirdeshpande, author of Never Show a T-Rex a Book and Cash *... I genuinely feared for Rosie's safety because I had really learned to love her. Her attitude, her directness, her desire to learn. I'd suggest this is a must have for any class studying the Second World War, especially as it embraces colonial history in a way that lots of WW2 literature completely misses. * Fleur Hitchcock, author of The Boy Who Flew and Murder in Midwinter *

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis vibrant book is written by neurodivergent author and neurodiversity champion Louise Gooding. It is an excellent tool to help children understand both themselves and their peers. The language is clear and positive, complemented by colourful illustrations to show how no two brains are the same and that all brains should be celebrated.It's full of facts and figures as well as brief biographies of some well known neurodiverse personalities. It covers all different aspects of neurodiversity from dyslexia to ADHD. There are some self help pages on brain care and next steps as well as a very useful glossary to help decode some of the complex vocabulary. As ever with DK, it is a great book which is incredibly helpful for both home and school. -- Tash Hyde * Read for Good *No brain in the world is exactly the same as another, and they all function in their own special ways.Divided into four sections: Wonderfully working brains, which explains how brains work and which bit does what; Wonderfully diverse brains, which explains a variety of neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, synaesthesia, OCD, tics, dyslexia and many more; Wonderfully wired history, which shows the timeline of neurodiversity awareness and showcases some brilliant brains from history; and the final section, Wonderfully wired people, which tells readers about a selection of modern-day neurodiverse writers, YouTubers, composers, coders and TV personalities.There's also a useful appendix of words and brain terminology at the back of the book, with a note from Louise to young readers that acknowledges the uniqueness of everyone's brain and their journey in life. Readers are reminded that when they have questions about themselves or about any topics in the book, they should ask an adult - and that there's so much more to learn about how our brains work.Louise Gooding, herself a neurodiverse creator, has ADHD, and this authenticity of experience shines through in her writing. This is a welcoming and down to earth look at neurodiversity for mid to older primary aged children, and a tremendously useful resource that sadly has been all too lacking until now. Highly recommended for all. * Booktrust *
