From the award-winning author of Code Name Verity, this thrilling murder mystery set in 1937 Europe soars with intrigue, glamour, secrets, and betrayal. But each of the racers is hiding a turbulent and violent past, and any one of them might be capable of murder…including Stella herself. The world is looking for inspiration in what’s meant to be a friendly sporting event. But promoting peace in Europe feels empty to Stella when civil war is raging in Spain and the Nazis are gaining power-and when, right from the start, someone resorts to cutthroat sabotage to get ahead of the competition. As the only participating female pilot, it’ll be a constant challenge to prove she’s a worthy competitor. When Stella North is chosen to represent Britain in Europe’s first air race for young people, she knows all too well how high the stakes are. ![]() Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. ![]()
