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.

Smells awful
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This smells awful. Like dead roses. I find it does make skin smoother however it does leave a sticky residue that lasts.

Dove retinol

This retinol is super good. It’s moisturizing and leaves my skin glowing all day. The price for it isn’t bad either.

Amazing facial sunscreen
Color: Tinted
The tinted Anthelios is my go to sunscreen for summer. The problem with most facial sunscreens is that they feel like a heavy cream and they leave a ghastly whitish color. Anthelios is different. It is light, easy to apply, and dries quickly to a soft matte finish. There is no white cast, no discernible “sunscreen odor”. It softens facial imperfections without the weigh down of makeup. Anthelios doesn’t clog your pores or settle into lines. It just leaves a natural fresh look. My skin but bettter. I’ve purchased it multiple times and will continue to use Anthelios. Buy it - you won’t be disappointed by this one.

Lightweight, Flawless Coverage & Reliable Sun Protection A Daily Must-Have!
Color: Tinted
I’ve been using this sunscreen for a few weeks now, and overall I’m very impressed. The texture is extremely lightweight and fluid, which makes it easy to apply evenly without feeling or greasy on the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, matte finish that works well under makeup.

My favorite Sunscreen
Color: Tinted, Color: Tinted
I’ve been using La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF 40 for a few years now, and it’s still one of my favorite daily sunscreens. The formula is truly lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy on the skin. It layers well under makeup and doesn’t leave a noticeable white cast, which I really appreciate. I also like that it provides reliable sun protection while still feeling comfortable enough for everyday use. Even after trying other sunscreens over the years, I keep coming back to this one because it works so well for my skin. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight, non-greasy daily sunscreen.
