Synopsis: It's 1947 on a U.S. Army base near Roswell, New Mexico, and eleven-year-old Kate's friend and neighbor, Billy, shows her a secret. A CIA agent arrives at Billy's house, to recover the Top Secret items, and threatens the family, warning them to never talk about the incident-ever! Special Agent Falco informs them of their sudden reassignment to Germany. Billy, not wanting to move to Germany or return his treasures, begs Kate for help. Feisty and fiercely loyal, she agrees to hide him. Thus begins a most unusual road trip in which the two friends use their wits, their knowledge of the terrain and geography around the base, and sheer determination to evade capture. Kate must also reach her grandfather, more than two hundred miles away, and warn him how the secret poses a dangerous threat ... to anyone involved. Their race has begun, and there's no turning back.
My Review: This was such a cute book. This is a great little book to introduce your child to historical fiction and I have to say that our 8 year old reviewer loved it. She currently has the flu so she will not be doing any videos right now. But she loved the story and is glad that she had the chance to read it. She said that she thinks this one would be an awesome graphic novel as well.
