Codenaam Coco
Hoe ver zou jij gaan voor vrijheid? Zou je liegen tegen je familie? De vriendschap met je beste vriendin verbreken? De jongen van wie je houdt volgen, ook als dat extreem gevaarlijk is? Zou je je leven riskeren?
Brussel, 1940. Nicole is vijftien als de nazi’s het land binnenvallen. Vastbesloten om terug te vechten, sluit ze zich aan bij het Belgische Verzet. Onder haar nieuwe naam Coco begint voor Nicole een nieuw, gevaarlijk leven als spion. Ze leert dat je op je vijftiende niet te jong bent om een pistool bij je te dragen, een bom te plaatsen en het risico te lopen op gevangenschap, marteling en een gebroken hart. De vraag is niet of ze gepakt wordt, maar wanneer.

About the author
Carmen Reid
42 books242 followersCarmen was born and brought up in a chilly and windy corner of Scotland in the depths of the countryside.
This may explain her lifelong phobia of cows and abiding interest in cities, department stores, books, the cinema and newspapers.
She is currently working on her eigth novel for grown-ups and her third novel for teenagers. Well, she likes to keep busy.
Carmen did once study English Literature at University College London, but, ignoring everything she’d learned, she spent most of her 20s working as a local, regional and then national newspaper reporter.
Knowing deep down that she was supposed to be an author not a journo, she left her day job to have a baby and write her first novel. (Hey, and just four sleepless, penniless years later it was published!)
Although there is a corner of her heart that will always belong to London (property developers welcome) she now lives in Glasgow, Scotland, with her husband, Thomas, and two children, Sam and Claudie, plus Jimmy the (lunatic) Jack Russell and Clive, Orangey and Gorcha, the fish.
Fortunately her hobbies are cooking, cleaning, arguing about whose turn it is to walk the dog, clean the fish tank, take out the rubbish, do the laundry... and so on.
