Set in WWII Paris, this gripping middle-grade novel follows eleven-year-old Safiyyah, a Muslim girl living in the Grand Mosque, as she courageously aids the French Resistance and helps save Jewish lives. Inspired by real events, the story highlights interfaith solidarity and overlooked history with emotional resonance and vivid characters. A detailed historical note adds further depth, and a glossary supports young readers. Poignant and powerful, this story honors the bravery of unsung heroes with grace and urgency.
