Catch Me If You Can

By Margaret Pearce

It's 1941, and the war feels closer every day.

Nancy Edwards and her friends are determined to do their bit. They've already raised money with backyard concerts and toffee sales-but when a neighbourhood pilot is reported missing in New Guinea, doing their bit no longer feels like enough.

The Bolton Road Spy Catchers are born.

Armed with curiosity, courage, and a fierce sense of patriotism, Nancy, Janet, Mabel, and Lennie begin watching for anything suspicious. Foreign accents. Mysterious neighbours. Leaflets hidden behind sofas. Could enemy spies really be operating in their quiet suburban street?

Between air-raid drills, school rebellions, and a secret trip to the hills, the children discover that helping the war effort is more dangerous-and more thrilling-than any of them imagined.

A heartwarming middle grade adventure about friendship, home-front heroism, and finding courage when the world feels uncertain.
