During an inspection on the CDRA (Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly) life support system, Marina discovers Michael, injured and unconscious, behind a ceiling panel. There are criminals aboard, and one of them has spotted her; there are other stowaways, too, each with their own secrets. But there are friends to be made as well as enemies to outwit and, as Patch scurries from steerage down in the hot and dirty bowels of the ship and up to the posh suites where the ultra-rich stay, she must learn that dangerous skill: hiding in plain sight.

I loved this book; it’s about friendship and loyalty; not making instant judgements, and learning who to trust. Patch will need all her wits about her if she is to keep herself and her friends safe. I read the book at a gallop, then re-read it slowly, with relish. It reminded me of the Edwardian children’s classic, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden, where young Mary, like Patch, struggles to make a life for herself and decide what sort of person she wants to be. The Accidental Stowaway is a great read for older, junior aged children. The characters are engaging and the setting may be a new world for many school-aged children to explore and learn about. It is a fast moving story which is why it is suitable for older junior aged children or could be a great read-aloud by parents to less confident children. I am really enjoying the increasing range of well written children's literature with strong female leads.

Esme Leonard, with her persistent frown and grumpiness, lay claim to the moniker ‘Crosspatch’ from the moment she was born. Abandoned by her mother, Patch, as she became known, was passed from one distant, decreasingly wealthy relative to another: none being able nor willing to soften her grumpiness or tame her fierce independence. Exposure to her ancestral grandeur and wealth allowed Patch to become imbued with the social etiquette demanded by higher society. Skills that would prove to be very useful to her as her story unfolds. Filming began on June 11, 2019 in Cologne and Munich and wrapped after 30 days.
