“Deeply disturbing and chillingly good.”—Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity on Orphan Monster Spy
“Inglourious Basterds meets Mean Girls.”—The Hollywood Reporter on Orphan Monster Spy
It’s 1940, and Sarah Goldstein is hiding in plain sight as Ursula Haller, the Shirley Temple of Nazi high society. She helps the resistance by spying on Nazi generals at cocktail parties in Berlin, but she wants to do more. Then her handler, the Captain, gets word of a German doctor who’s gone rogue in Central Africa. Rumors say the doctor is creating a weapon of germ warfare—known as “the Bleeding”—that is so deadly it could wipe out entire cities. The Captain and Sarah must find the doctor and seize the Bleeding before the Nazis get ahold of it and use it to murder thousands.
Joining them on their journey is Clementine, a half-German, half-Senegalese girl whose wit and ferocity are a perfect match for Sarah’s. As they travel through Africa, Clementine’s astute observations force Sarah to confront a dark truth about her own allies: that mass extermination didn’t start with the Nazis.
