From the award-winning author of The Great Trouble comes a story of espionage, survival, and friendship during World War II. Bertie Bradshaw never set out to become a spy. He never imagined traipsing around war-torn London, solving ciphers, practicing surveillance, and searching for a traitor to the Allied forces. He certainly never expected that a strong-willed American girl named Eleanor would play Watson to his Holmes (or Holmes to his Watson, depending on who you ask). But when a young woman goes missing, leaving behind a coded notebook, Bertie is determined to solve the mystery. With the help of Eleanor and his friend David, a Jewish refugee--and, of course, his trusty pup, Little Roo--Bertie must decipher the notebook in time to stop a double agent from spilling the biggest secret of all to the Nazis. From the author of The Great Trouble, this suspenseful WWII adventure reminds us that times of war call for bravery, brains and teamwork from even the most unlikely heroes.Binding Type: Hardcover

More than a technical guide this book is a masterclass in design leadership using Figma!
Format: Kindle
Sharma's expertise from leading design teams at major companies shines through, offering real-world insights that integrate Figma into a strong design process.
What sets this book apart is Aditi’s genuine expertise. She doesn’t just teach the mechanics of Figma—she brings the wisdom of someone who has led design teams at Amazon, JPMorgan, and Walmart, weaving in real-world insights that make the tool feel like an extension of a strong design process. The structured approach, practical exercises, and advanced techniques helped me not only sharpen my skills but also rethink how I lead design collaboration in my teams.
For design leaders aiming to elevate their Figma expertise and use it effectively at scale, this book is an essential resource, making the transition both seamless and impactful.
