Agent Most Wanted by Sonia Purnell
A young readers adaptation of Sonia Purnell's>New York Times>bestselling book>A Woman of No Importance, the story of Virginia Hall; the unassuming American spy who helped the allies win World War I. Virginia Hall was deemed the most dangerous of all allied spies by the Gestapo. Armed with her wits and her prosthetic leg, she was deployed behind enemy lines to inspire resistance in France, providing crucial support to fighting the Nazi occupation. In this largely untold story, Sonia Purnell uncovers the truth behind a Baltimore socialite who was essential to allied victory. Adapted for the elementary to middle school audience, Agent Most Wanted is equal parts an inspiring tale of feminism in a time when women weren't taken seriously, an epic spy story, and, of course, a retelling of winning one of the largest global conflicts in modern history.A young readers adaptation of Sonia Purnell's>New York Times>bestselling book>A Woman of No Importance, the story of Virginia Hall; the unassuming American spy who helped the allies win World War I.
