"Demetrios tells this fascinating story in an uber-modern narrative voice that is snarky AF, LOL, with plenty of hits to the patriarchy and a glorious sense of celebrating Dindy’s badassery. . . meticulously well-researched. . . A remarkable telling of an extraordinary woman."

– Kirkus Reviews

"Frequent first-person asides and ample pop culture references make even the more mundane details highly readable . . . Demetrios provides a thoroughly researched history of “La dame qui boite,” and those just discovering Dindy will be convinced that she was, in fact, a badass."

– BCCB

"Bringing together rigorous research and a vibrant writing style . . . [the author] ­creates a solidarity rooted in feminism and affectionately breaks the fourth wall to engage teens to keep reading. It’s a creative liberty, reminiscent of Jason Reynolds’s Stamped. . .This is a fun, illuminating read. . . A ­delightful account of an epic spy . . ."

– School Library Journal

"[The] true story of one of history’s greatest spies, documented in this well-researched biography. Using a conversational style replete with expletives, Demetrios blends necessary background information on WWII with detailed accounts of Hall’s espionage and reconnaissance missions in Vichy France. . . An enlightening account of a heroine worth knowing."
