Synopsis:
Young mouse Pip Hanway is in France as she continues fighting for the French Resistance group Noah's Ark: a secret gang of animals operating beneath the feet of human soldiers, whose aim is to liberate France and secure the victory of the Allies. Determined to reach her ancestral home of the Umbrella Museum in Italy, Pip hopes she can find long-lost family and a home. But as Pip makes the perilous journey through occupied territory, she soon realizes that danger comes from all sides and that the enemy is all around, and she does everything she can to fight for her friends.
Beautifully illustrated by Sam Usher, Pip will take you on an incredible journey through a war that reaches even the smallest of creatures.
Review:
While Pip managed to help some of her friends escape in the previous book there were losses that hit the Noahs Ark resistance group hard. But the fight isn't over yet and she will find she will have to dig deep for courage and strength to help her fellow resistance fighters to beat back the enemy troops. Will she ever make it to the Umbrella Museum and her long-lost family?
Pip is the most adorable main character, she has such a beautiful spirit and the kind of courageousness that I only hope I would have. Throughout the book she realises that she has found a different kind of family with Noah's Ark and other friends she makes on the way. There is also a little bit a hint to a cute romance with another mouse which was the cutest thing ever! The plot was executed well and was a perfect follow up to the previous book. I was really pleased with it and enjoyed reading.
I definitely recommend for anybody who wants a beautifully told historical middle grade adventure story with some incredible illustrations.
