The Ministry of Unladylike Activity introduces May as she balances school life at Deepdean with undercover missions that demand wit, a steady hand, and a quick sense of humor. In The Body in the Blitz, danger shadows the city streets even as the lights burn brighter in the corners of ordinary life, and May discovers what true teamwork means when every decision could alter the outcome of the war.
