About this series
When Harrison, the son of American diplomats, lands in Moscow at the height of the Cold War, he knows three things.
His passport will keep him safe. His daydreams will keep him company. His music will keep him sane.
But everything he knows is about to change.
His father has disappeared. His mother is keeping secrets. And his friend Prudence, the fearless daughter of foreign correspondents, leads him on a wild chase across the city in pursuit of a mysterious stranger.
As they race to find a priceless record in a place where rock is banned, Harrison and Prudence tangle with desperate spies and ruthless gangsters. Forced to navigate the dark underworld of a communist state, they risk everything — and discover a web of secrets that leads to the most dangerous game of all.
Chock full of suspense and propelled by a grand tale of unrequited love, Back in the USSR will keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the emotional, uplifting ending.
If you enjoyed Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series, Elizabeth Wein's Code Name Verity, or Ruta Sepetys's I Must Betray You, you'll love Back in the USSR.

Ambitious young reporters Josie and Laurent arrive in Prague in 1968 to cover a revolution unfolding behind the Iron Curtain. It's the story of a lifetime. A dream come true. A dream that's about to become a nightmare. Soviet tanks thunder into the city, changing everything. Josie receives a cryptic message from a shrouded stranger on a mist-covered bridge, and soon she and Laurent are propelled onto a collision course with nefarious villains and unstoppable forces, as they rush to uncover a shadowy conspiracy before the city falls. Strawberry Fields drops you into an adventure you can't put down, complete with secrets, spies, and — at the heart of it all — the power of rock and roll. "Breathless chases, cryptic clues, a heroine with grit, and a little romance ... A bang-up job of keeping the pages turning and vividly rendering the sights of Prague" -Melissa Joulwan, Strong Sense of Place podcast
