I'm so delighted to see SAFIYYAH'S WAR on the @burleyfisher.bsky.social books of the year - it's the best children's book I've read this year! I think there should be a copy in every classroom & library around the country - it would prompt very interesting discussions. And adults should read it too!

So says: Safiyyah is a schoolgirl in Paris in 1940 – but this is not like any WWII novel you’ve read before. Unbelievably gripping & beautifully written debut.
