Under Fire by @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social is a beautiful, moving and accessible book about an Anglo-Indian boy who is sent to India during WW2. It shines a light on our shared history, including the human-made Bengal Famine and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the struggle for freedom. #kidlit

Seeking refuge from the Blitz, 12-year-old Hasan finds himself in a world of secrets in pre-Independence India. Under Fire is a gripping new WW2 adventure from @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social, featuring a brave Anglo-Indian lead. Preorder by 11th July for 30% off!

Text to the right of a book cover reads 'A WW2 adventure of courage and codebreaking from the award-winning author of the Rosie Raja series. Out 28th August'. The cover is for a book called Under Fire. A boy with medium-deep skin and dark hair runs across a beach at sunset as planes fly overhead with a sinking ship is visible on the horizon. A monkey and tropical foliage are visible at the right edge. The background is the imagery from the book cover but faded.
