Waterstones Says

Both tremendously exciting and truly heartbreaking, the true story of Noor-un-Nissa Inayat Khan and her heroic wartime work for Britain's Special Operations Executive is brilliantly retold for younger readers by Sufiya Ahmed.

My Story: Noor-un-Nissa Inayat Khan is the thrilling story of British-Indian World War Two heroine, Noor-un-Nissa Inayat Khan.

It's 1940 and hundreds of families are being forced to flee Nazi-occupied France. Noor refuses to stand by while Nazi forces invade her home and terrorise her people, so she travels to England and signs up to join the war efforts, despite her mother's wishes. It isn't long before her talents are noticed and she is chosen by Winston Churchill to sneak back into France as an undercover agent. Noor returns home - but this time, as a secret agent...

Can Noor keep her true identity hidden, report her findings back to London and help the Allies win the war? Perfect for any child wanting to learn more about history's untold stories.

“Courageous British spy”

I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't heard of Noor (or Nora Baker) before reading this book. But I've had my eyes opened to the inspirational story of one of the few British female spies from WW2.
