Southampton, England. June 1944. 12-year-old Tommy Collins is with his father, Lieutenant Commander Lawrence Collins, who’s hard at work on Most Secret plans for Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France.

With his father busy with planning meetings, Tommy has time to explore. He watches thousands of workers loading trucks, tanks, planes into ships ready to cross the channel, and thousands of soldiers and sailors, getting ready to fight. He hears about a Nazi spy captured. And he sees a girl with a funny accent poking around a bomb-damaged radio store!

But Annike Meyer is not the German spy Tommy thought: she’s a Jewish Kindertransport refugee, who’s assembling a wireless radio to contact her parents… whom she hasn’t spoken to in almost four years.

Annike and Tommy hear a nearby broadcast that they’re convinced is Nazi code. Unable to persuade the police or the military, the two trace the source of the broadcast—and they’re discovered and captured!

“She-Wolf is a gut-punch of a thriller. Complex characters caught up in a story of survival, revenge, and family. Not for the faint of heart!” - Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Deborah Sokolov’s life has suddenly turned dark. Her grandparents, the people she loved and who raised her, have been savagely murdered. She knows that the man who confessed to the killings is lying, his lies bought and paid for. She drops out of school, taking drugs and alcohol to cover up her pain. Passed out on the street, she’s rescued by a man who helps her become She-Wolf. Deborah’s life is in escalating danger as she gets closer to finding her grandparents’ killer. “A she-wolf doesn’t run,” Deborah thinks, “she hunts.” About the Author: Francis Moss has written and story-edited hundreds of hours of scripts on many of the top animated shows of the 90s and 00s.
