THE ESCAPE by ROBERT MUCHAMORE

Charles Henderson, one of the few British spies left in Paris during World War II, enlists the help of Marc, a 12-year-old on the run from a brutal orphanage, in searching for Rosie and Paul, two English children fleeing from the Germans. They also must get to Henderson with blueprints their father has stolen for a portable radio. As they embark on a dangerous journey, it comes apparent that maybe working undercover they can help win the war. Descriptive and well researched. A gripping clever read!
