Growing up in 1960s Israel, twelve-year-old Motti's world is full of mysteries to be solved, so when he and his friend Reuven identify a suspicious elderly man in the neighborhood as a potential German spy, they set out to unmask him. In the process, the investigation leads them closer to home, and the secrets his holocaust survivor parents might be keeping . . .
An homage to classic children's mystery books, The Lost Spy and the Green Dress is a tightly-plotted, funny, and complex story which explores heavy themes (such as the Holocaust, trauma, mental health, and poverty) with nuance, a lightness of touch, and a cast of compelling young characters.
