The remembrance episode of By the Book features a poignant interview with Susanne Gervay OAM, who shares the history behind her latest YA novel, Heroes of the Secret Underground from Harper Collins.

It's a 5-star timeslip journey through war-ravaged Hungary, as an underground network of incredibly heroic children race to save their own from Nazi atrocities.

Susanne also shares her other passion projects - the value of SCBWI and the CBCA NSW Eastern Suburbs Sub-Branch's Book Week 2021Anthology - Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds.
