Description

Code Name Kingfisher by Liz Kessler is a heart-wrenching middle grade story that explores themes of family, history, resilience and hope. When 13-year-old Liv helps her father empty her grandmother's house, she discovers an old chest containing letters and mementos from Oma's childhood.

Through these hidden treasures, Liv learns about Oma's involvement in the Dutch Resistance during World War II, a story that had been kept secret for years. As Liv delves deeper into her family's past, she uncovers a world of bravery, loyalty and love, as two sisters - Mila and Eva - navigate the dangers of war and the complexities of their own relationships.

This powerful and moving tale is a testament to the enduring power of family bonds and the human spirit's capacity for resilience in the face of adversity. With its rich historical context and well-developed characters, Code Name Kingfisher is a compelling read for anyone interested in stories of courage and hope.
