About the Book
"Choose Your Own Adventure SPIES: Noor Inayat Khan" takes YOU to Nazi-occupied France during World War II. You grew up surrounded by the lessons your parents valued the most: nonviolence, music, writing, and the arts. When World War II begins, your dreams of traveling the world and helping people are quickly changed, and you leave your life behind to spy for the Resistance as a British secret agent. Will the years of training you’ve had in the Special Operations Executive help you go undetected by your enemies? Or will the long coil of your radio antennae end up giving you away?
