Will I love Heroes of the Secret Underground?

I’m fascinated by all historical backgrounds and am particularly interested when the narrative is a powerful time-slip story inspired by the author's family. It is set in Budapest during the Holocaust. 

I found the descriptions of the time especially interesting in relation to what the people endured, particularly the children. There was much I didn’t know about Budapest in 1944. This one kept me both informed and turning the pages.

This heart-racing timeslip novel makes me grateful for those brave humans who’ve risked their lives to keep my world as safe as they could.

Set in 2000 (International Year of Peace), it’s part history, philosophy, fantasy, and biography that transported me to 1944 Budapest. The tale was inspired by the author’s own family, who escaped Hungary during World War 2 and eventually settled in Australia.

While Louie, the protagonist, is not yet thirteen, she is put in the same position as many young people during the war. She faces numerous dangers and must not only look after herself but must… show more.
