Portraying a full cast of characters, including a Jewish orphan, a U.S. spy, and the German students of an elite boarding school, Maarleveld seamlessly incorporates a wide range of European and American accents. Fifteen-year-old Sarah is portrayed with a strong and confident tone that Maarleveld effortlessly changes according to the heroine’s many roles as an actress and spy. Listeners will notice the maturity that steadily grows in Sarah’s voice as she transforms from a sullen teen who feels rejected to a resourceful undercover operative.

Her name is Sarah. She's blonde, blue-eyed, and Jewish in 1939 Germany. And her act of resistance is about to change the world.
After her mother is shot at a checkpoint, fifteen-year-old Sarah meets a mysterious man with an ambiguous accent, a suspiciously bare apartment, and a lockbox full of weapons. He's part of the secret resistance against the Third Reich, and he needs Sarah to hide in plain sight at a school for the daughters of top Nazi brass, posing as one of them. If she can befriend the daughter of a key scientist and get invited to her house, she might be able to steal the blueprints to a bomb that could destroy the cities of Western Europe. Nothing could prepare Sarah for her cutthroat schoolmates, and soon she finds herself in a battle for survival unlike any she'd ever imagined. But anyone who underestimates this innocent-seeming girl does so at their peril. She may look sweet, but she's the Nazis' worst nightmare.
