Princess Elizabeth’s Spy by Susan EliaMacNeal is the second of the Maggie Hope series set during WWII in the UK. MI-5
suspects a plot to kidnap fourteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth, who has been
sent off to Windsor Castle for safekeeping. Maggie is dispatched undercover as
a maths tutor. After many twists and turns the Princess is indeed kidnapped and
Maggie rescues her. (Not really a spoiler.) Following the rescue, the book
continues as a teaser for the next book in the series.
While most of the action takes place in Windsor Castle, London during the blitz and code-breaking in Bletchley Park play supporting roles. The princess is portrayed as an intelligent young lady devouring her maths lessons and learning about code-breaking and writing in code. Margaret is an eight-year-old brat.
King George VI doting on his children and Winston Churchill in the tub, plus German spies.
