New book for Susanne Gervay

March 26, 2021

Exciting news indeed! Susanne Gervay, who supports so many of us in so many ways, is about to launch

Heroes of the Secret Underground

A YA novel for 10-14 year old readers published by HarperCollins.

With heart-stopping adventure, courage, love, humour and hope in the darkest times, 'Heroes of the Secret Underground' is a time slip to Budapest 1944, where the past is unlocked to bring advocacy for justice to the present and future.

Part autobiography, history, philosophy and fantasy, Susanne reveals lost history and the courage of young people to save lives. Susanne's father was Zoltan and her mother Verushka - both showed that whatever challenges we face, we must believe in the future.

Join Susanne at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 6 April via Zoom to celebrate the launch of this book.

Congratulations, Susanne! This is a story that will touch many hearts and lives.
As Ursula Dubosarsky says, this is 'a story of light and love and exceptional courage'.
