The Lady Rogue

Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling confined by expectations or is struggling to find their voice within a father-daughter relationship. It is an ideal choice for a young reader who craves the independence of adulthood but still needs to navigate the complexities of trust and old friendships. This historical adventure follows Theo Fox, a brilliant girl who rejects the 1930s housewife mold, as she treks across Europe to find her missing father. The story explores high-stakes mystery alongside the tender, often messy reality of a first love's return. While it features some supernatural elements and light romance, it serves as a powerful anchor for conversations about female agency and the courage required to define one's own identity. Parents will appreciate how Theo's intellect and love for puzzles are the keys to her success, rather than just her physical bravery.
