Girl in the blue coat
In Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, Hanneke navigates the dangerous black market, delivering forbidden goods while trying to keep her dangerous work a secret from her family. Haunted by the loss of her boyfriend, she sees her illicit dealings as a small act of defiance against the invaders. But when a client asks her to find a missing Jewish girl, Hanneke is drawn into a mission that will test her courage and her conscience.
While the characters are fictional, the novel is grounded in historical reality and inspired by the Amsterdam Student Group, a real resistance organization that helped rescue Jewish children during the occupation.
It received the Edgar Award for Best Young Adult Mystery in 2017.
