Heart of Resistance

When a bomb destroys her London home, Agnes is left without parents or a guardian. But she can’t bear to live in a children’s home in the country. She needs to find her grandparents in France – a France occupied by the Nazis.

   Smuggled across the Channel, by chance she meets a Resistance group whose leader

promises to help her in her quest. In turn, Agnes’ quick thinking saves both their skins.

   Left in the care of shepherds in the mountains, Agnes’ adventure is only just beginning – can she make it through to the end?


Heart of Resistance is a thrilling and poignant tale with finely drawn characters and a

truly suspenseful plot.
