The FitzOsbornes at War

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is beginning to grapple with the complexities of global conflict, political responsibility, or the feeling of being an outsider in a time of crisis. This concluding volume of the Montmaray Journals follows Sophie FitzOsborne and her eccentric royal family as they live through the London Blitz while their tiny island home remains occupied. It is a sophisticated exploration of courage, the moral weight of war, and the transition from adolescence into the burdens of adulthood. Parents will appreciate the way it balances historical gravity with the intimate, relatable voice of a young woman trying to find love and purpose while the world literally crumbles around her. It is ideal for older teens who enjoy immersive historical fiction and are ready for nuanced discussions about sacrifice and social justice.
