Book Description: Ginny Mathis had no intention of staying rooted in the Outer Banks—then war broke out. While working as a clerk for Oregon Inlet ferry, naval officers ask her to be watchful for German U-boats reportedly spotted in the area. To help occupy her younger sister, Ginny enlists the Girl Scout troop she leads to help watch for suspicious activity. Soon the girls are sneaking around, hiding a shipwreck survivor. Ginny must take charge, but is this man the enemy, or does he hold secrets that could turn the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic in the allies’ favor?
My Thoughts: I love stories about World War II and this is an interesting story from a different angle.
Ginny wants to be part of the war effort and doesn't want to be one of those people who just stays planted in one spot. She wants to be part of the action. She wants to help.
When the naval officers ask Ginny to watchful for German U-boats. She decides to enlists the girls scout troop and to occupy her younger sister at the same time.
Ginny and the girls take their "job" quite seriously and soon there is suspicious activity with a U-boat. Sure enough a man emerges.
Ginny and the girls are excited but Ginny wants to err on the side of caution.
Who can be trusted in these perilous times? No one!
Instead of approaching the man the girls watch him and watch him. Soon he notices the girls.
This is an excellent story and will back a great gift.
