This book was what made me so interested in World War II based books. It sparks a flame in my heart that will never go out and that's why it has received four stars even if I can't remember every little detail in it.

I read this for school and did not like it
I feel like the writing is awful and repetitive. Jill seems more like an eight year old than a fourteen year old. It was so hard to get through

Alrighty, obviously this book is not some super high reading level but who cares. It was great, even if it does look like something from a sixth grade reading list.
I always like historical fiction and this one was extra great because there was a sort of mystery to it as well!
That's all I can say for now, I'm a little busy at the moment but I didn't want to forget to review this one.

Jill Winters, 14, has been sent to stay with her grandmother in Maine while her father, a famous singer, is on a U.S. tour and her mother is visiting her dying brother in Newfoundland. It is the summer of 1942, and German U-boats patrol the shores of the North Atlantic. There are the strange goings-on in Winter Haven. When Jill intercepts a carrier pigeon with a message in German, she begins to suspect that someone in the town is guilty of treason. After the town's July 4th clambake, her life is threatened when it becomes clear to the spies that she has figured out their identity. A fun and enjoyable historical fiction read.
