Rosie Raja: Mission to Cairo

About this book

This followup to the thrilling Rosie Raja: Churchill's Spy sees eleven year old Rosie and her secret agent Dad go undercover to the land of the pharaohs and pyramids!

Whilst her father is there in the guise of an Egyptologist whose job is to protect ancient artefacts from the clutches of the Nazis, their top secret mission is in fact to find a traitorous agent who has been feeding secrets to the German forces.

Rosie will need to use all her wits and intelligence to complete the mission - but a new rivalry with Fatima, the daughter of a museum owner, threatens to derail her plans. Can she befriend her enemy, protect her and her father's secret identities - and prove herself once again to be Churchill's favourite spy?

This fast-paced and gripping adventure story is packed with fascinating historical facts about the Second World War, Ancient Egypt, and even the struggle for Indian Independence. The complexities of war, politics, and history across several continents are well-explained and concise, and Rosie's rivalry and eventual friendship with Fatima is funny and heart-warming. The perfect sequel to Rosie's first adventure... and an exciting set up for the next!
