    The Wonder Girls Series

    By J.M. Carr

    ()

    About this series

    ENGLAND 1938

    Nazis are overpowering Europe! declares The Nettlefield Courier.

    But in Nettlefield itself all appears to be well. The town is waking up to the fascist threat and the Wonder Girls are finding their places in the world. Except Baby, who feels out of place.

    ​

    The arrival of 16-year-old American investigative journalist, Veronica Park, puts Baby's nose further out of joint. Everyone is too awestruck by Veronica to be suspicious of Sir Malcolm Taggart, who says he wants to feature the Nettlefield orphans in his rival newspaper, The Beacon.

    ​

    At first, neither Baby nor Veronica imagine the terrible extent of Taggart's true plans. Unless they can get along, bombs will fall on Nettlefield before World War Two has even started

      "The Wonder Girls is a fast-paced, full-hearted, total romp of an adventure ..."   Unlikely friends, despicable villains, and deadly peril – can a renegade gang stop the Blackshirts sending orphans to Hitler? THE WONDER GIRLS is a kick-ass historical adventure with kindness, inclusion and hope at its heart - Enid Blyton with oomph and diversity! Perfect for readers of Emma Carroll or Robin Stevens.   ENGLAND 1936 and the Blackshirts are marching. Londoners are on the streets resisting them. In the chaos, a terrified, golden-haired girl pulls street-thief Baby from certain death. But Blackshirts overpower them and seize the girl. Baby tracks the Blackshirts to the coast where she finds a railway carriage hidden in brambles, a gang of renegade girls and thirteen-year-old Ida, trying to protect her golden-haired little sister ...   Some Blogger Reviews...   "The Wonder Girls is a fast-paced, full-hearted, total romp of an adventure ... The story starts with Baby being saved from the crush of a Blackshirts' march by a golden-haired angel of a girl, who promptly gets kidnapped by sinister grown-ups in a fancy car. Baby, fiercely loyal and warm-hearted, determines to save her Goldilocks girl; she and Fingers set off from London to the south coast town of Nettlefield, in hot pursuit of Baby's saviour. Meanwhile, Ida is trying to come to terms with the fact her Mum is soon to die, while also worried sick about losing her little sister Bonnie to the terrifying and mysterious Nettlefield Grange Orphanage, run by Mrs Bullar. Alone, neither Baby nor Ida are equipped to deal with the reality of what's going on in the orphanage. Together with the help of a cast of marvellously colourful characters, they might just stand a chance... Any child who loves stories of adventure, chutzpah and heart will rattle through this book and be desperate for more. In short, The Wonder Girls is a real winner of a book." Georgina Lippiet   'This story is full of heart racing moments, incredible bravery and girl power in the face of fascism... I was gripped from the first chapter and my heart was pounding, not daring to turn the page at some points but always feeling that I wanted more. It is a fabulous story and I have high hopes for it in this golden age of Children's fiction. Erin Lyn Hamilton   ... it is the focus on family, friendship and loyalty that makes a lasting impression. Throughout the interwoven story lines of Baby, Fingers and and Sophie at the start and following Ida Barnes next, the whole tale is fundamentally warmhearted. There is peril, and girl power, and fascist louts – but the core is both humane and full of hope. K.M Lockwood

      A cast of thousands, despicable villains and an unexpected reunion with disastrous consequences! ENGLAND 1937: 4000 child refugees from The Spanish Civil War are due to arrive at Southampton Docks . . . Sixteen-year-old aspiring doctor, Letitia, is determined to help with the rescue effort. Most of the children are taken to a camp, north of the town but some under the 'care' of a teacher called Easton Fitzgerald are billeted at Nettlefield Grange Orphanage. Baby is sure the Blackshirts are putting kids in peril again – have they jumped from the frying pan into the fire? Baby and the other Wonder Girls must work out what the fascists are really up to, and to prevent a Nazi invasion, persuade Letitia to value what she's actually good at.
