So I accidentally became a spy…

I was just supposed to stay hidden. Keep my head down. Don’t get noticed by the Nazis. Simple, right?
Yeah… not so much.
Getting to Paris to stay safe was hard enough — then the Nazis came, and suddenly it wasn’t safe there either. Turns out, when you’re good at sneaking around and listening when you shouldn’t, people start asking you to do things. Dangerous things. Like delivering secret messages. Hiding spy equipment that can’t be found. Taking photos that could get you arrested — or worse. Oh, and I still have to go to school…
Now I’m part of the French Resistance. I know the hiding places. I know the codes. I know which soldiers to avoid. One wrong move means capture. Or worse. And every time I sneak through the city — even underground through the spooky Catacombs — I wonder: will this be the mission I don’t come back from?
One mistake could mean none of us — me, Mama, or Kat — survive.
If you like danger, secret missions, close calls, and real history — this is my story. Just don’t tell anyone you read it.

(If you’re a grown-up, you might also want to know this book is part of the Rebels and Resistance series – stories to share about WW2 Occupied Paris. Apart from being illustrated to break up the text, ‘Boy, Resisting’ is also chock-full of history to bring the experiences of being a child during wartime Paris to life. From significant events like the fall of the Maginot line, to how the Resistance movement took back Paris at the end of the war, your middle-grader should also find some cross-over with learning about WW2 in their curriculum as well)

This book, and its companion read (Sewing Resistance - a WW2 French Resistance historical suspense novel which has a parallel storyline but is aimed at adults), launched on Kickstarter in September 2025.

Why Buy Directly from the Author?

There is no way one little author can compete with the big online stores who can offer free delivery and cheap prices. But when you order directly from authors, you are supporting their independence, and also the independent printers they use, which is much appreciated!

It's a bit like being a Patreon. More of the money you spend will go into the creator's pocket. And the more times that happens, the more books will get created.
