Henderson’s Boys: The Escape

Description

Summer, 1940.

Hitler’s army is advancing towards Paris, and millions of French civilians are on the run.

Amidst the chaos, two British children are being hunted by German agents.

British spy Charles Henderson tries to reach them first, but he can only do it with the help of a twelve-year-old French orphan.

The British secret service is about to discover that kids working undercover will help to win the war.

For official purposes, these children do not exist.

Robert Muchamore was born in Islington in 1972 and spent thirteen years working as a private investigator.
