Rosie and her father are back undercover and this time they are heading to Cairo. Their cover is that they need to make sure that the city's artefacts are safe but, in reality, they are there to discover who the British traitor is working amongst the troops. The question is, in a city full of people from different countries, who can Rosie and her father trust?
I thoroughly enjoyed Rosie's first outing as a spy (you can read my review of Rosie Raja: Churchill's Spy here) and it has been a big hit in school. So I was excited when Rosie Raja: Mission to Cairo arrived - I knew I would have to read it immediately as it will be nabbed from me as soon as I get to school on Monday.
Rosie is much happier at the beginning of this book than she was at the beginning of book 1, and is rightly proud of her accomplishments with her father in Paris. As a result, she is raring to go when they receive another mission, but things aren't always as she would expect. Whilst her father is posing as an Egyptologist, she finds it difficult to bond with one of her father's contacts who is annoyed at the idea that Rosie and her father will remove precious artefacts from the country. If Rosie is going to pull over the mission, she needs to work out how she can befriend this girl without breaking cover. However, there are also other dangers that must be considered and Rosie needs to prove herself once again as worthy of her new title.
Taking in the sites of Egypt, Rosie Raja: Mission to Cairo is a book that shows boldness and bravery, and would make a perfect read aloud whilst doing a WWII topic.
